PANAMA BOQUETE SUAREZ GEISHA #153

This roast brews with a fresh, clean aroma of peaches and rose water. In the cup, it has a silky, velveteen texture. The flavor begins with a gentle strawberry tartness over a smooth body of marshmallow and molasses, along with light herbal notes of lavender and green tea. Finishes cleanly, with a delicate flavor that barely lingers: a kaleidoscope of soft flavors that blend perfectly into one another. We are proud to carry a coffee like this one, and proud to partner with Seattle Coffee Works to bring you their exclusive Geisha, now the second year in a row. Wrap yourself, or someone you love, in cashmere coffee this season.

Finca Suarez is one of those lucky breaks every Green Coffee Buyer dreams about. On a misty Saturday morning, we had a chance encounter with Roberto Suarez. Roberto decided to no longer export coffee some years ago, because he was able to get a better price by roasting and selling his coffee domestically in Panama. He and his family also have plans for a beautiful coffee shop right on top of the beneficio.

Because the farm hasn't exported any coffee for the last few years, Roberto was not in a selling mode when we showed up. He only had past-crop samples for us. We had a great time visiting no less. Roberto is starting to pass the farm on to his children, and as he’s doing so he is upgrading his entire beneficio with new equipment throughout. This year's crop is the first crop processed on completely overhauled equipment (imported from Colombia).

This Geisha has the typical herbal complexity of Geisha along with a full body, sweetness and moderate acidity for a lingering aftertaste. Rosehip, Green Tea, Molasses.
