Context

Hacienda La Esmeralda, located in the Boquete region of Panama, is widely recognized for its role in elevating the Gesha varietal to global prominence. This specific lot, roasted by The Barn, is a washed-process coffee grown at 1800 masl. While processing methods significantly influence the final cup profile, washed coffees are often celebrated for their ability to highlight the inherent clarity and delicate aromatics of the bean. In this instance, the roaster identifies notes of nectarine, raspberry, and jasmine. When evaluating such nuanced profiles, referencing a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool for identifying the subtle distinctions between stone fruit and floral characteristics. This offering represents a classic expression of the varietal, showcasing the refined acidity and elegant structure that have become synonymous with the high-elevation terroir of the region.
