INTRO A top-shelf release from Hachi Panama — "Akane" (茜, deep red), a candy-bright Gesha from one of Panama's most acclaimed Gesha producers. Creamy blueberry yogurt sweetness leads, with a blackcurrant depth and a tangy Sweetarts-like brightness. In the cup: blueberry yogurt, blackcurrant, and Sweetarts.

THE PRODUCER Hachi Panama has built a reputation as one of the country's most sought-after Gesha producers, known for meticulous, small-batch natural processing that consistently draws attention from top roasters and collectors worldwide. Top Shelf releases like this one represent some of the most exacting, limited-quantity work coming out of the operation.

THE PROCESS This lot is a Natural — cherries are dried whole, allowing the fruit to impart its character directly into the bean as it dries. This approach is what builds the creamy blueberry yogurt sweetness and tangy candy-like brightness that define this cup.

THE CUP Creamy and candy-bright — blueberry yogurt sweetness up front, blackcurrant depth through the middle, and a tangy Sweetarts finish. A top-shelf expression of Hachi's exacting Gesha work.
