Panama Los Lajones Gesha
Delicate, floral, complex
$16.00
This varietal originated in Ethiopia but came to prominence and more widespread popularity after its introduction to Panama. The Lamastus Family Estate farm scored the highest ever price for a Gesha in the Cup of Excellence back in 2018 – $803/lb!!
This is not that coffee but it gives you an idea of what a Gesha is – delicate, slightly floral, complex, like “the after-milk of a bowl of Fruity Pebbles” according to Keith Hill our in-house provider of interesting coffee descriptions. This is a past crop, hence the lower price, but it gives a good account of itself and is a great introduction to the Gesha world.
It’s a low yielding varietal which thrives in the volcanic micro climate around the Baru volcano, close to Boquete.
Give it a try. Delicious when prepared in a French Press or aero press in my opinion. We’ll have a current crop Gesha from this farm within the next 30 days so watch out for that if you enjoy this one.
