Farm and Producer

Carlos Aguilera Franceschi and Jean Paul Langenstein run Franceschi Coffee in Volcán, Chiriquí. Carlos's family established Carmen Estate, where he worked before developing this separate project.

Franceschi Coffee combines smaller Gesha plantings with selected cherries from neighboring growers. This washed selection is identified as Lot 232 and is listed from 1,600–1,800 meters.

Variety

Gesha, also spelled Geisha, is an Arabica variety with Ethiopian origins. It is valued for high cup-quality potential and floral aromatics, especially under suitable high-elevation growing conditions. Its expression also depends on cultivation, processing, and roasting.

Processing

In washed processing, the cherry skin and pulp are removed, followed by the remaining mucilage before drying. Fermentation, washing, and controlled moisture removal influence the structure and clarity of the finished coffee.
