 Blend of 50% Gesha Noria lot (Washed) and 50% Gesha Cabaña (Natural)

Originally a 1967 cattle ranch, Panama's Hacienda La Esmeralda triggered a global phenomenon in 2004 when the Peterson family isolated a rare, high-altitude tree variety called Gesha—a discovery that changed specialty coffee forever. Today, Hacienda La Esmeralda is split into three distinct farms. Jaramillo sits in a steep, mist-shrouded mountain bowl on Volcán Barú, where competing ocean winds and deep shade create an elegant, incredibly sweet cup bursting with jasmine and bright citrus. Across the valley, Cañas Verdes climbs to a sun-drenched 2,050 meters, utilizing a sharp dry season to stress the trees into producing explosive tropical flavors. Finally, El Velo serves as a research hub, testing over 400 rare cultivars for climate resilience and next-generation cup quality.

A Geisha from the Noria lot at Jaramillo Farm, processed through a 120-hour low-temperature fermentation and dried on raised beds for 17 days, resulting in remarkable clarity and elegance.

Cabaña Abajo 4 ANB - sourced from the lower section of the Cabaña lot at Cañas Verdes Farm, this Geisha underwent a 120-hour anaerobic fermentation followed by 41 days of drying on raised beds, developing exceptional depth and complexity.

This artisan blend captures the elegance, depth, and remarkable complexity of some of the finest coffees on Earth.

This coffee was selected by our Lithuanian barista Ieva Šuopytė for her World Brewers Cup 2026 routine.

SWEET & FRUITY

Origin: Rwanda 
Region: Nyabihu District
Producer: Smallholder producers
Altitude: 1800-2000 masl
Variety: Red Bourbon
Process: Natural
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 86 points

Built in 2017, Shyira is a washing station situated at 2,000 meters above sea level, collecting cherries from neighbouring smallholder producers. This is among the highest-grown coffee we know of in Rwanda, from a region where very few washing stations exist, making it especially unique. Cherries are handpicked on remote mountain plots and carried down narrow paths to be carefully sorted, washed, fermented, and dried on raised beds beneath alternating sun and fog.

Coffee cherries are hand-sorted to remove any underripe fruit or foreign matter. They are then floated in tanks to separate any remaining floaters before the drying process begins. After sorting, the coffee is laid evenly across raised beds, allowing consistent airflow while keeping it elevated to protect it from moisture and animals. The coffee dries for around 30 days, turned regularly during peak sun and covered at night. Once fully dried, the outer fruit layer is removed, leaving the green coffee ready for export.

Built in 2017, Shyira is a washing station situated at 2,000 meters above sea level, collecting cherries from neighbouring smallholder producers. This is among the highest-grown coffee we know of in Rwanda, from a region where very few washing stations exist, making it especially unique. Cherries are handpicked on remote mountain plots and carried down narrow paths to be carefully sorted, washed, fermented, and dried on raised beds beneath alternating sun and fog.

Coffee cherries are hand-sorted to remove underripe fruit and foreign matter. They are then floated in pre-pulping tanks to separate floaters before being pulped. Next, the coffee is fermented in concrete tanks for an average of 12 hours. During this stage, the parchment is continuously agitated through ceremonial foot-stomping to help remove residual mucilage and separate lower-density parchment. Each washing station has its own song for the foot-stomping ceremony, which is sung to build pride and a sense of ownership among workers.
After fermentation, the coffee passes through a serpentine grading channel, where parchment is separated by density. After the final rinse, coffee is moved to a pre-drying area, where it is hand-sorted again to remove insect-damaged, discoloured, or chipped beans. It is then dried for around 30 days, regularly turned during peak sun hours and covered at night. Once fully dried, the green coffee is ready for export.

SWEET & FRUITY

Origin: Ethiopia
Region: Gedeb, Yirgacheffe
Producer: EDN Banko Chelchele
Altitude: 1900 - 2300 masl
Variety: Heirloom
Process: Super Natural
Roast level: Espresso - Medium roast
SCA Score: 87.75 p.

This coffee comes from the village of Banko Chelchele in Gedeb, Southern Ethiopia, within the renowned Yirgacheffe coffee-growing region. It is exported by EDN, an Ethiopian specialty coffee company recognized for its close partnerships with smallholder farmers and its commitment to producing high-quality, fully traceable coffees. Farming in the area is deeply rooted in local knowledge, family traditions, and community-based harvesting practices.

The Chelchele washing station has developed a "Super Natural Process" that emphasizes the best qualities of naturally processed Ethiopian coffee. During the harvest season, coffee cherries are hand-picked with careful attention to ripeness and quality. Only carefully selected cherries are placed in sealed, oxygen-free tanks, where they undergo controlled fermentation for approximately 36 to 48 hours. Then coffee cherries are slowly dried for around 27 to 30 days. This method is designed to extend the drying process, allowing gradual chemical changes to occur within the beans before milling and preparation for export.
