The True Origin Panama Geisha

Hacienda La Esmeralda has been an outstanding iconic producer years after year since their winning Best of Panama in 2004. 

With the careful planting in designed geography under the optimal unique soil and climate condition, harvesting at the absolute peak of ripeness, and combining high elevation, Esmeralda Private Collection certainly leads to a sweet, balanced cup of coffee. 

The Geisha varietal carries classic floral and fruity notes and multiple layered aromatics, followed by a bright and juicy body that has made people from all over the world fall in love with. 

In order to elevate the distinctive “Esmeralda” profile, the Peterson family use only recycled water, sourced from the highlands near the mill. In addition, proceeds from the coffee have gone to school programs where their pickers' children during harvest, which include hot meals and necessities for all harvesters and their families while they live on the farm; and bi-annual bonus of at least 30%.

There’s no doubt in coffee quality from Esmeralda.
