THE PRODUCER
Janson Coffee is a family-owned producer with roots dating to 1926, when Carl Axel Janson left Sweden and settled in Volcán, Chiriquí. Initially an agricultural enterprise, the family later recognised the region's potential for specialty coffee and officially founded Janson Coffee in 1990, building on Carl's passion for hard work, quality, and respect for the land. Today the family continues the legacy across generations, producing specialty coffees including the renowned Panamanian Geisha. Located on the slopes of the Barú and Tisingal volcanoes, the farms benefit from the unique climate and rich terroir of Panama's highlands, combining careful lot selection, traditional craftsmanship, and modern processing techniques with a commitment to environmental sustainability.

THE PROCESS
This lot is Washed, a method that removes the fruit before fermentation and drying. It lets Geisha's naturally floral, tea-like character come through with clarity, building the jasmine and orange blossom aromatics that define this cup.

THE CUP
Floral and delicate: jasmine and orange blossom aromatics up front, peach sweetness through the middle, and a green tea structure on the finish.
