INTRO From Hacienda La Esmeralda's Jaramillo farm — the Private Collection washed lot, showcasing the estate's classic clarity and precision. White floral aromatics lead, with citrus brightness, berry sweetness, and an apricot finish. In the cup: white flowers, citrus, berries, and apricot.
THE PRODUCER Hacienda La Esmeralda needs little introduction. In 2004, the Peterson family won the Best of Panama competition with an exceptional Gesha — a variety previously unknown in the region — and in doing so reshaped the trajectory of specialty coffee entirely. The estate remains one of the most renowned in the world, with the Jaramillo farm representing a distinct part of its broader portfolio.
THE PROCESS This lot is Washed, a method that removes the fruit before fermentation and drying — allowing Gesha's naturally floral, delicate character to come through with clarity, building the white floral and citrus brightness that define this cup.
THE CUP Clean and floral — white floral aromatics lead, citrus brightness and berry sweetness through the middle, finishing on an apricot note. A precise, classic expression from one of Panama's most storied estates.
