El Colibrí Geisha — Lot 033

A refined washed Geisha from Finca Camiseta in El Salto, Boquete, Panama. Harvested at 1,780 m.a.s.l. on 20 February 2026, this lot combines high-elevation growing conditions with a deliberate traditional fermentation and carefully managed drying to highlight the variety’s clarity and elegance.

Freshly harvested cherries were floated and hand-sorted to remove immature, dried, and defective fruit. Before depulping, the selected cherries underwent a light fermentation. The coffee was then depulped and fermented in open tanks for 36 hours, washed, and transferred to African beds. Drying began with the cool local breeze, continued for 12 days under shade on the beds, and was completed with six hours in a static dryer at 36°C. The coffee was milled at 10.5% moisture.

Expect a delicate, structured cup with floral aromatics, tea-like elegance, ripe stone-fruit sweetness, and a bright, polished acidity. The washed process and slow shade drying support a clean and transparent expression of Geisha, leading to a silky mouthfeel and a long, refined finish.
