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.
Finca Los Lajones sits between 1750 and 2100 masl and is located between two lava flows to create a unique coffee growing microclimate. The farm cultivates Caturra, Catuai, Gesha and Pacamara varietals .
All the farm operations are carried out with environmental consciousness and deep desire to preserve the unique and exotic biodiversity of the whole area.

Can you still order coffee? The answer is a resounding YES.
We are functioning, roasting and shipping coffee (for as long as UPS and FEDEX keep picking up), practicing social distancing, and staying safe in our little cocoon here at Lawson Hill.

This is quite delicious. Loving on espresso of course after giving it about 8 to 10 days to degas.
Mick Hill –
That’s great that you let it settle. Glad you like it!
Cheers

I have a JURA coffee machine. I like this bean because it’s still mellow and buttery despite hitting the STRONG button. I also like it because it has no oils on top of it so it is acceptable inside a grinding machine like JURA. Will continue to order.
