Hacienda La Esmeralda. Without them, the remarkable Gesha variety might not be what it is today. In 2004, the Peterson family won the Best of Panama competition with their exceptional Gesha coffee, a variety that was previously unknown in the region. This iconic farm has been instrumental in shaping the global reputation of Panama’s Gesha coffee and remains one of the most renowned farms in the world.

This lot was harvested on February 12th, 2025, at the Portón lot of El Velo farm. After harvest, the cherries were taken to La Esmeralda's mill in Palmira, where they were depulped and fermented for 48 hours. The coffee was then slow-dried on raised beds for 14 days.

This coffee is a beautiful expression of elegance and clarity. It opens with vibrant violet and delicate white florals, reminiscent of a freshly picked bouquet. Juicy red apple brings structure and sweetness, supported by an incredibly smooth and refined tactile quality. The finish is long, clean, and floral.
