Hacienda La Esmeralda Special is Back!

This year’s harvest of one of our best-selling coffees from last year is here!  Hacienda La Esmeralda Special is a coffee that stands out on the cupping table.  Those who have tasted this coffee before know it by its distinct aroma and taste.  Its combination of floral and citrus notes astounds the palate.

Hacienda La Esmeralda Special Micro-Lot comes from a varietal known as Geisha, or Gesha.  Before arriving at Hacienda La Esmeralda in Panama, this Ethiopian varietal traveled through coffee labs in Kenya, Tanzania and Costa Rica.  During these travels, the geisha was admired for its resistance to leaf-rust.  Its awe-inspiring flavor profile either was unnoticed or had not developed until Daniel Peterson separated the geisha coffee on their family farm in the Boquete region of Panama.  When he submitted that micro-lot to the 2004 Best of Panama, the coffee world was turned upside-down.  Since, it has dominated the world of Specialty Coffee.  Last year, the auction lot from the Best of Panama sold for a record $130 a pound green!  Do not miss out on this opportunity to experience a coffee you will never forget.  Order here!
