Elida Estate Green Tip Gesha - Washed

About This Coffee

Gesha is a truly special variety; especially from Panama, and especially from this farm. Its flavors are defined, articulated, unique and elegant. This cup brings intoxicating florals of jasmine and honeysuckle together with a crisp citrus acidity and ripe stone fruit notes in a beautifully integrated experience. Four generations of the Lamastus Family have been producing coffee since 1918. Rising from 1,700 to 2,060 masl, and nestled within the Volcan Baru National Forest Reserve—a native, old-growth cloud forest—the farm has excellent shade coverage, biodiversity, and rich volcanic soil full of beneficial microorganisms. All of this helps to produce some of the most complex coffee cherries ever tasted. At such high altitude, Elida’s microclimate is quite cold, greatly lengthening the time of cherry maturation, which is very important for the development of sugars and acidities in the cup.
