INTRO

HACHI – Banira (バニラ) is a washed Gesha coffee produced by HACHI Panama, offering a delicate cup that highlights the expressive character of the Gesha variety.

THE PRODUCER

The Hachi Project is farmed by Bermudez, Hartmann and Antonaci in Santa Clara, within the Volcán region of Chiriquí, Panama, at 1400–1600 metres above sea level—prime terroir for cultivating expressive Geisha.

This lot is roasted by Native, a Dallas-based roaster that exists to challenge the ordinary in the specialty coffee industry. Whilst Native maintains one tasting room in Dallas, they roast at origin in Medellín, Colombia and Chiriquí, Panama, allowing close collaboration with producers. Their intentional approach showcases sweetness and clarity in the cup whilst preserving the producer's vision, origin terroir, and unique varietals.

THE PROCESS

The Washed process at Hachi Project involves:

• 🍒 Cherry Selection — Careful picking at peak ripeness

• 🔧 De-Pulping — Mechanical removal of skin and mucilage

• 💧 Fermentation — Traditional wet fermentation

• 🚿 Washing — Thorough washing in clean water

• ☀️ Drying — Careful drying

This clean washed process preserves the delicate vanilla, floral, and spice characteristics that define this expressive Gesha lot.

THE CUP

A delicate cup opens with ripe apricot and white floral aromatics, layered with smooth vanilla sweetness and a warming touch of cinnamon. Light in body with light acidity and medium-high sweetness, this washed Gesha highlights the refined, expressive character the varietal is celebrated for.
