What Makes This Coffee Special?

This coffee isn’t just a morning pick-me-up. This is the result of careful farming, innovative processing, and some of the best coffee-growing conditions on the planet.

Grown in Boquete, Panama, a region famous for its high-altitude microclimate, rich volcanic soil, and the cool Bajareque mist, this nano lot Geisha is a product of meticulous craftsmanship. Boquete has long been home to some of the world’s most sought-after Geishas, known for their delicate florals and vibrant fruit notes.

Behind this lot is Ruben Viera, a producer who took over his family farm in 2006. Managing a team that expands from three core workers to 15 during harvest, Ruben’s commitment to sustainability is evident in his manual farming methods and eco-conscious approach.

Chilled Cherry Natural Process

The Chilled Cherry Natural Process

If you’ve ever wondered what separates this Geisha from others, it all comes down to process. Here’s what makes it special:

  • Step 1: Washing & Chilling – The cherries are washed to remove impurities and then cooled to stabilise their metabolic activity, ensuring a clean and vibrant profile.
  • Step 2: Anaerobic Fermentation (95 hours) – The cherries are placed in sealed fermentation bags at carefully controlled temperatures (14–28°C). This step amplifies acidity, fruit-forward flavours, and complexity.
  • Step 3: Slow Drying (293 hours) – The coffee is dried slowly on patios, allowing the sugars and flavours to develop gradually for a rich, syrupy mouthfeel.
  • Step 4: Resting & Stabilisation – After drying, the beans rest for two months, ensuring consistency before export.

The People Behind This Coffee

This coffee is more than just beans – it’s a product of people, tradition, and a whole lot of skill.

Creativa Coffee District (CCD), the innovative processing mill behind this lot, is transforming coffee production by blending tradition with creativity. CCD collaborates closely with farmers in Boquete, Hornitos, and Renacimiento, ensuring top-quality coffee cherries are sourced directly from dedicated producers like Ruben.

Even more remarkable is CCD’s work with the Ngöbe-Buglé indigenous communities. These women contribute generations of agricultural knowledge and craftsmanship, making this coffee more than just a beverage – it’s a reflection of culture, sustainability, and shared dedication to quality.
