2025 Crispilliano Contreras x Lost Origin - Panama

The cherries for this special collaboration were harvested from Crispilliano’s extremely high-elevation Gesha garden and transported in refrigerated trucks to the Lost Origin lab in Panama City for highly controlled and intentional processing. In the cup we find Jolly Rancher, jasmine, candied orange, and green apple.

The 2025 Crispilliano Contreras x Lost Origin release from Sey Coffee highlights the meticulous cultivation practices of producer Crispilliano Contreras in Panama. This specific lot features the Gesha varietal, a plant widely celebrated in specialty circles for its distinctively elegant profile. While Gesha is often prized for its floral, tea-like clarity and complex acidity, this particular offering presents a vibrant sensory experience characterized by notes of Jolly Rancher, jasmine, candied orange, and green apple.

When evaluating such nuanced profiles, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to better articulate the interplay between these bright fruit tones and delicate aromatics. By focusing on the intersection of high-quality agricultural stewardship and precise roasting, this collaboration offers a clear window into the current potential of Panamanian coffee production. It serves as a compelling example of how varietal expression can be elevated through careful processing and intentional roasting techniques.
