PANAMA Geisha Private Collection

Geisha Private Collection is a special blend of Geisha microlots from our Jaramillo, Cañas Verdes and El Velo far ms at 1,600 - 1,800 meters above sea level, processed washed, and selected for the signature taste of high quality Esmeralda coffee. At Esmeralda we start by carefully instructing those who hand pick the fruit, to only pick the completely ripe, red fruits. They are paid premium for this service. Since we strive for absolute consistency and excellence in preparation, harvested coffee is always carefully inspected for defects or green beans. We devote enormous time to the details and fine touches that have always distinguished Hacienda La Esmeralda from other coffee producers in the world.
