Farm and Producer

Carmen Estate grows coffee in the Paso Ancho area of Panama’s Volcán region. The Franceschi family established the farm, whose planting areas lie in the Chiriquí Viejo valley. Volcanic soils, good drainage and a pattern of cool nights and sunnier days shape the growing environment.

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

This Palomar selection is prepared as a washed coffee. Ripe red cherries are selected and depulped, and the coffee is washed before drying on raised beds in the sun.
