Farm and Producer

Nido is a high-elevation plot at the Peterson family's Cañas Verdes farm in Boquete, Panama. This Nido 9FB Gesha is listed at 2,050 meters.

The 9FB identifier distinguishes this selection from other Nido harvests and processing lots. Cañas Verdes combines cool mountain conditions with a pronounced dry season.

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

The cherries are depulped and the coffee ferments for 72 hours in a cool room before washing. It then dries slowly on raised beds for 11 days. These controlled fermentation and drying stages prepare the coffee for milling and roasting.
