In the cup: white blossom, peach, stonefruit, and honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Suárez family has grown coffee in El Salto since 1948, with roots in Boquete going back to 1900. Today Carlos and Laura Suárez run the farms as El Salto Premium Coffee (Grupo Vicala), across Camiseta, Los Limones, and Doña Eira between 1,500 and 1,780 masl. Camiseta sits at 1,780 masl, where temperatures run 13–22°C. Every pick is floated and sorted by hand, dried slowly in the shade on African beds with the mountain breeze, and finished in a static dryer at low heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeisha traces its roots to the forests of southwestern Ethiopia. At its best it shows intense florality, a delicate tea-like quality, bright citrus, and tropical fruit. The plants are slender, shy to yield, and offer little disease resistance, which is why great examples stay rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCherries were picked on 20 February 2026, floated and sorted by hand, and left to ferment lightly in the cherry before pulping. The coffee then spent 36 hours in open tanks, was washed clean, and dried for 12 days in the shade on African beds, followed by 6 hours in a static dryer at 36°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light in-cherry ferment followed by a 36-hour open-tank stage is the defining combination. It lets Geisha's blossom and stonefruit character come through cleanly with a honeyed sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClean and floral: white blossom leads, with peach and stonefruit through the middle and honey on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🌼 White Blossom 🍑 Peach 🍑 Stonefruit 🍯 Honey\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mazelab","offers":[{"title":"Filter \/ 50g \/ October 20th","offer_id":59143913013622,"sku":"MAZELAB-COLIBRI-GEISHA-WASHED-FIL-50G-OCT20","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/ELCOLIBRI.jpg-cropped.jpg?v=1793096438","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/products\/mazelab-el-colibri-washed-geisha-panama","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
