Panama Ponderosa Geisha Red Honey MS delivers a dynamic and elegant cup with notes of raspberry and plum, balanced by the bright sweetness of candied citrus and delicate floral undertones. The coffee’s silky body and vibrant acidity create a clean and refreshing finish, making it a standout example of Panamanian Geisha.

The red honey process involves carefully pulping the coffee cherries while leaving a portion of the fruit’s mucilage intact. The beans are then dried on raised beds, allowing the sugars from the remaining fruit to infuse into the beans, enhancing sweetness and complexity. This process is meticulously monitored to ensure balance and clarity in the cup.
