Panama, Hacienda La Esmeralda – Private Collection
Located in the Boquete region of Panama, Hacienda La Esmeralda is a multiple award-winning coffee farm run by the Peterson family that has consistently achieved record-breaking prices at auction. The whole family is involved in production and prides themselves on absolute consistency and excellence in preparation, which is perhaps why they grow the finest Geisha in the world.Â
The estate is based in the province of Chiriqui in South-West Panama. This area has a mountainous topography, producing various microclimates which have a distinct influence on the coffee beans profile. The fairly cool weather and recurrent mists slow down the ripening of the coffee cherries, yielding a denser and more flavourful bean. Â Â
Panama is renowned for producing some of the world’s most exceptional speciality coffees, particularly the highly coveted Panama Geisha (Gesha) beans. Hacienda La Esmeralda’s primary offering, the Private Collection coffee, is an exceptional example of what is widely considered one of the most desirable coffees in the world.Â
The Peterson family have produced this award-winning Private Collection Geisha for over 15 years, fine-tuning the production of their beans to perfection during its journey. Discover the quintessential citrus and floral notes and juicy, sweet flavour that make Panama Geisha a world-famous coffee.Â
