About this Specialty Coffee
Nestled in the misty mountains of Boquete, Panama, Agricola Geisha stands as a testament to the art of coffee cultivation. This family-owned farm, perched at an impressive altitude of 1,380-2,100 meters overlooking the majestic Baru Volcano, has been quietly revolutionizing the world of specialty coffee. For years, The Espresso Lab has been privileged to partner with this exceptional producer, bringing their exquisite beans to discerning coffee lovers.
The secret to Agricola Geisha's success lies in their unwavering commitment to quality and sustainability. Their coffee plants, nurtured from seedlings, grow under the protective canopy of forest trees, benefiting from natural shade and organic fertilization. The farm's unique microclimate, characterized by a perfect balance of misty rain and sunshine, along with streams that naturally irrigate the fields, creates ideal conditions for growing truly exceptional coffee.
When it comes to harvest time, Agricola Geisha's dedication to excellence truly shines. Each coffee cherry is hand-picked at the peak of ripeness and sun-dried to preserve its intrinsic flavors. This meticulous process ensures that every bean that makes its way to The Espresso Lab's roastery is of the highest quality, bursting with natural flavors and aromas that coffee aficionados have come to cherish.
The farm currently cultivates three varieties of coffee: the renowned Geisha, known for its delicate floral notes; Paca, appreciated for its balanced profile; and Pacamara, celebrated for its big bean size and complex flavor. This diversity allows The Espresso Lab to offer a range of taste experiences to its customers, all sourced from this single, exceptional farm.
As Doña Elvira, a key figure at Agricola Geisha, often says, "Buen Provecho!" This phrase, wishing others a good meal, encapsulates the farm's philosophy. It's not just about producing coffee; it's about creating an experience to be savored. Through their long-standing partnership, Agricola Geisha and The Espresso Lab continue to bring this experience to coffee lovers, one cup at a time.
