Panama Geisha Natural La Reina
The Jaramillo mountain air is wet and cold, perfect for making the aromatics of the Geisha variety sing. Though Geisha variety coffees had been planted sporadically across the area, it was a lot separated out from one small region on this farm that led to the rediscovery of Geisha.
The farm rises, from rolling hills on its lower part, to steep 40 degree inclines higher up, making harvesting a manual and challenging affair. There had been coffee planted on the lower parts of the farm – as many as 15 different sub-varieties, hybrids out of Costa Rica and Brazil, and in 1997 the Peterson family decided to plant higher up.
It is these high altitudes that the Geisha’s bright, floral aromatics express themselves. With cooler temperatures and massive shade trees that have been standing for ages, Jaramillo is the perfect place for this variety to grow. To this day many of theirs top performing microlots of Geisha coffee come from little patches on the slopes of Jaramillo.

Cupper's notes
It releases elegant floral notes of jasmine and orange blossom, followed by a fruity sweetness of mango, papaya, and berries. The acidity is bright, with hints of bergamot and mandarin, while the silky body leaves a lingering finish of honey and white chocolate.

More Info
The processing follows the traditional natural method: the cherries are hand-picked only at their perfect ripeness and left to dry in the sun on raised beds, allowing the fruit to impart intense notes of tropical fruits, honey, and white flowers to the bean.
