About This Coffee

This Geisha variety coffee from Don Benjie Estate (Hacienda Bajo Mano) is cultivated in Boquete, Chiriquí Province, Panama at 1,400-1,550 meters altitude. The farm benefits from volcanic soils and unique microclimatic conditions. The coffee is processed using an Eco Mill system with anaerobic maceration: ripe cherries are hand-selected and fermented in sealed reactors for four days with daily cold river water cooling, then depulped and fermented for two additional days before washing. The coffee is dried naturally on raised beds to 11% moisture. Flavor profile includes grapefruit zest, lemon, green tea, and white floral notes with a clean, vibrant cup.
