Located in the Boquete region of Panama, Hacienda La Esmeralda is a multiple award-winning coffee farm run by the Peterson family that has consistently achieved record-breaking prices at auction. The whole family is involved in production and prides themselves on absolute consistency and excellence in preparation, which is perhaps why they grow the finest Geisha in the world.

The estate is based in the province of Chiriqui in South-West Panama. This area has a mountainous topography, producing various microclimates which have a distinct influence on the coffee beans profile. The fairly cool weather and recurrent mists slow down the ripening of the coffee cherries, yielding a denser and more flavourful bean.

Part of a research project at Hacienda La Esmeralda, this limited production rare varietal is related to both Arabica Typica and Bourbon strains. These Pacamara beans are exceptionally high-quality, produced using recycled water, and processed naturally for 21 days on raised beds, the result of which produces very large beans full of depth and flavour. The proceeds of Pacamara lot's go to programs supporting schools for the pickers' children, food supplies while they live on the farm, and a bi-annual bonus of at least 30% for all pickers.

Tasting notes: complex dried fruit, florals, bitter orange and chocolate, finished with a satin mouthfeel and bright acidity.
