This Geisha variety coffee from Finca Auromar in Chiriqui, Panama is grown at 1570-1770 meters elevation. The coffee is washed processed and produced by Roberto Brenes on the Auromar Estate, a 30.5-hectare farm designed to balance coffee production with forest conservation. The cultivated area uses native shade trees and high-altitude Hass avocados to create a stable microclimate. The coffee develops its character from low humidity conditions between December and January, followed by dry, sunny summers until mid-April, resulting in complex beans with notes of cherry blossom, yuzu, and brown sugar.
