Farm and Producer
Hacienda La Esmeralda is the Peterson family's coffee estate in Boquete, Panama. The family separates harvests by plot and preparation across its farms, building on the Gesha microlots that brought the estate international recognition in 2004. This selection is Mario Abajo 6FB, prepared as a washed coffee.
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
For a washed preparation, the cherry skin and pulp are removed, and fermentation helps loosen the remaining mucilage. The coffee is then washed and dried in parchment.
