Panama Summer Geisha
Situated on steep hillside at 1500-1600 masl, Finca Santa Teresa’s Summer plot produces shade-grown coffee from 12 year-old Geisha trees. In general, the trees flower 3-5 times per harvest between February and April each year. The Panamanian sun facilitates even ripening of the lot and that plentiful sunlight is utilised again for post-harvest processing.
This Geisha was picked and within hours spread out on raised beds for slow drying over 30 days, before being finished off in a controlled environment to ensure consistency.
In the cup we find this coffee has a prominent red fruit notes and rose tea aromas. A beautifully balanced Geisha.
Method
This coffee lends itself to the pour over method to promote the sweet acidity of the coffee, particularly when brewed with the Orea Brewer. We suggest 18g of medium-coarse ground coffee for 300ml of water at 98°C. It will also pose an excellent cup with all other filter brewing methods, particularly V60 and Kalita.
Coffees are whole bean as standard. If you'd like your coffee ground, please specify for which brewing style in the notes at checkout and we'll grind fresh.
