Panama Geisha Washed
Esmeralda Geisha Washed is a very special Arabica that is unlike any other. Only the ripest cherries are picked at the right time, meaning harvesting can last for a few months … but some things, like this, are definitely worth waiting for. When the beans are graded anything over 90 is sold or auctioned, but the very best lots are kept for the Best of Panama competition or for preferred buyers such as Difference Coffee. We have an established relationship with Esmeralda who now offer us the privilege of early access to their most distinctive micro-lots before they go to auction.
Harvested on February 2nd, 2022, the Noria 41AS nano-lot, of which there are only 110kg, 30kg of which was sold to Difference Coffee as its exclusive European importer. It was processed by the wet method with the ferment conducted under anaerobic (reduced oxygen) conditions with a special yeast inoculation. This edition, therefore is extremely limited, producing 399 boxes only.
