The Gesha Legacy

Panama wasn’t always synonymous with world-class coffee. It wasn’t until the 1960s, when a devastating fungal outbreak led Don Pachi to introduce the gesha variety from Costa Rica, that Panama’s reputation was transformed. Grown in the volcanic soils of Iris Estate, this gesha coffee—especially when paired with Project Origin’s carbonic maceration techniques—becomes a modern-day symbol of exceptional quality, offering a taste that’s nothing short of extraordinary.

The Nirvana Lot: A Masterpiece of Precision and Patience

The Nirvana Lot is a gesha coffee that has been meticulously crafted from start to finish. Harvested during Panama’s extended season, from October to April, these cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness. Only the best cherries, selected through a rigorous process, make it into this exclusive lot. The cherries undergo natural processing, beginning with a nitrogen-flushed fermentation in hermetically sealed tanks, which preserves the coffee’s cell structure and enhances its clarity and delicate profile.

Artisanal Drying Process

Post-fermentation, the cherries are spread on a three-tiered raised African bed system at Finca Deborah, where controlled drying conditions—monitoring temperature, heat, humidity, and airflow—ensure the optimal development of flavor. For 20–25 days, the cherries are gently agitated to maintain even drying and prevent mold, until the moisture content reaches a perfect 11%. Afterward, the beans rest in their dried cherry pods in grain-pro bags, absorbing the natural flavors of the fruit before being hulled, sorted, and lightly vacuum-sealed for export.

A Flavor Profile Like No Other

The Nirvana Lot is a coffee that captivates from the first aroma to the last lingering note. The experience begins with a fragrant bouquet of rose hip and raspberry, inviting you into a cup that’s as complex as it is refined. On the palate, expect a symphony of flavors where the delicate effervescence of champagne meets the bright, fruity notes of raspberry and the crisp sweetness of white grape.

As you dive deeper into each sip, the aftertaste unfolds like a dream, revealing a soft, nostalgic whisper of cotton candy intertwined with the deep, luscious flavor of blackberry. The acidity is vibrant yet balanced, with a raspberry-like brightness and a malic undertone that provides a refreshing, mid-high sharpness. The body of this coffee is juicy and light, dancing effortlessly across the palate, creating a harmonious, synergetic balance that ties all these elements together beautifully.

In essence, the Nirvana Lot offers a clean and delicate finish, leaving behind a breathtaking sweetness that lingers, bringing you back for another sip. This is a coffee experience that transcends the ordinary, offering a truly extraordinary taste journey.
