La Esmeralda Grand Reserve, Panama

Hacienda La Esmeralda Grand Reserve is one of the world’s most famous coffees, renowned for achieving record breaking prices at auction and winning the Best of Panama award several times.  Grown at approximately 1,850 meters above sea level with extremely complex aromatics and flavours including jasmine and stone fruit.  Brilliant and clear acidity with bergamot notes in the cup.

Hacienda La Esmeralda is grown in the bouquet region of the province of Chiriqui in the South-West region of Pamana. This area has a mountainous topography, which produces various distinct micro climates, which has a distinct influence on the coffee profile. The fairly cool weather and recurrent mists slows down the ripening of the coffee cherries, yielding a denser and more flavourful bean.
