Cup profile
This gesha is sweet and aromatic, with a tropical profile that brings to mind mango, papaya, and melon. The acidity is juicy and bright, balanced by a silky body and a vibrant and fruit-forward cup that delivers clarity and depth in every sip.
The Process
After harvesting, the cherries are fully cleaned with low-pressure water, then hand-sorted for perfect ripeness. They dry slowly for 20–30 days under carefully controlled temperature, airflow, and humidity. Turned up to 4 times per day for even drying.
The Coffee
This Gesha has been grown on Hacienda La Papaya since 2018, using seeds sourced from Boquete, Panama. With drip irrigation and balanced fertilization, the plants develop slowly and intensely, building high sugar content and complex flavors.
