From the world record-setting farm behind the Best of Panama 2025. In an unprecedented sweep at the Best of Panama (BOP) 2025, Hacienda La Esmeralda achieved two world record scores—98.00 points for Geisha Washed and 97.00 points for Geisha Natural—solidifying its legacy as one of the most exceptional producers of Panamanian Geisha coffee. These results were celebrated by 22 international judges during the Boquete tasting.

Hacienda La Esmeralda Noria Washed Geisha 4FB delivers an elegant and refined cup, with delicate violet and orange blossom aromatics, framed by bright jasmine and crisp red apple. Its vibrant acidity and silky body create a clean, floral-forward experience that highlights the finesse and complexity of Panamanian Geisha.

The washed process emphasizes clarity and precision: cherries are fully washed and slow-dried under on raised beds, preserving the coffee’s balanced structure and floral brightness.
