We have received a limited quantity of the Panama Hacienda Esmeralda Special auction lot Colga!

Panama Esmeralda has been the most celebrated coffee in the professional coffee world for the past several years. Unlike some other “gimmick” coffees where high prices are paid for an undeserved hype this coffee delivers what is promised.

This coffee is a Geisha varietal which gives it its’ characteristic long thin bean shape and delicate floral flavour profile. The yield from a Geisha tree is lower than other varietals, but it thrives where other trees can not; at high elevation exposed to harsh winds.  Much like a a great Pinot Noir the torturous growing conditions seem to help develop amazing flavour, depth and complexity.  This coffee is truly one of the marvels of nature, discovered serendipitously by the Peterson family (owners of the Esmeralda farm in Panama) when they allowed a low yielding coffee tree to grow and thrive where other coffee trees struggled to survive.   For more information on this amazing coffee visit http://www.haciendaesmeralda.com

We will be roasting this coffee in October and our pre-order sheet is filling up quickly.  If you want to reserve your 1/2 or whole pound come by our shop or give us a call.  All of the Esmeralda will be roasted, nitrogen flushed and sealed to order.
