PANAMA LA VICTORIA BOUTET GEISHA NATURAL #2760

Tastes Like: Lime, Orange, Blueberry, Raspberry, Jasmine, Panela

Why I’m Obsessed: Geisha isn’t just another coffee varietal: it’s a legend. Originally from Ethiopia, it rose to global fame in Panama’s Boquete region, where its first competition appearance stunned judges and changed the course of specialty coffee forever. What makes it so coveted is its unmistakable profile: intensely floral aromatics, sparkling citrus brightness, and a soft, silky body that feels more like fine tea than traditional coffee. Grown in small quantities and notoriously difficult to cultivate, the best Geishas consistently earn sky-high scores and fetch record-breaking prices at auction. I call Geisha the “cashmere sweater of coffees” because it is a luxurious drinking experience, with warmth, coziness, and elegance beyond compare.

All that to say, when a Panama Geisha crosses your path, it is an event. And this lot, the La Victoria Boutet Geisha Natural from Boquete, the region where it all began, is your chance to see what the hype is all about! From the first sip, it is gentle yet dazzling: bright, mimosa-like citrus sparkle softens into layers of blueberry cream and raspberry syrup, carried by a soft, silky body that is boosted from its natural processing. Undertones of jasmine and honeysuckle drift through the cup, and the finish lingers with a touch of bruléed lime and caramelized sweetness that keeps you coming back for more. Natural processing amplifies the magic, turning an already elegant profile into something fruitier, juicier, and more intoxicating. Anne’s light but not too-light roast keeps this coffee in a deliciously approachable flavor range, with just enough toasted sugar sweetness to balance the natural acidity of the bean.

Among coffee fans, the Geisha varietal is one of the most coveted coffees in the world. With just one sip of the candy-like La Victoria Boutet Geisha Natural, you will understand the hype. With its big notes of mimosa cocktail, mixed berries, and honey-drizzled florals, this sweet and lively cup is a classic unicorn of coffee. Don’t miss it!

Bottom Line: You’ll love this one if you love cosmopolitan cocktails, rare coffees, or just want to begin your day with something unforgettable.
