This Masterpiece is an exhibition of balance and clarity. The unmistakable notes of Gesha are apparent in an intense bouquet of jasmine, honeysuckle, and bergamot. In the cup, expect flavours of nectarine, raspberry, and honeydew melon. Elegant sweetness is balanced by sparkling acidity, fresh and bright in the cup. The layers of flavour continue to develop as it cools, with lingering florals and delicate tropical fruit.
It was the high-altitude planting of Gesha coffee that helped set in motion the events of 2004, when Gesha's amazing aromatics first became clear. This was in the lead up to the Best Of Panama competition, an annual coffee cupping competition and auction that had been gaining significant interest amongst a group of next generation coffee producers in Panama.
For that years competition, La Esmeralda producers the Peterson family did something they had never done before: during processing they separated production from different areas of the farm out into individual lots. One of the lots they separated out came from high up in Jaramillo, and when it landed on the cupping table, it blew everyone away.
Hacienda La Esmeralda has done much to perfect the cultivation of high-altitude Gesha coffee, including substantial experiments in Washed and Natural processing methods. A particular focus has also been paid to meticulous lot separation, allowing to develop a more nuanced understanding of the different microclimates in which Gesha thrives best.
This lot was processed in Washed style, where freshly harvested cherries are pulped to remove the outer skin, then fermented, washed again and dried. Process at La Esmeralda delivers exceptional clarity and balance in the cup.
