The Peterson family coffee farm in Panama (Hacienda La Esmeralda) has been the gold standard for growing the Gesha (sometimes spelled Geisha) coffee variety around the world. The "1,500" portion of the title refers to the minimum meters above sea level of where the coffee is grown. This translates to about 5,000 ft. where most coffee in the world is grown between 1,000-3,000 ft. Year over year, the farm has produced the highest priced auction coffee in Panama setting a record at over $600/lb. The high price is related to a number of factors including the coveted Gesha variety, high altitude harvest, and outrageous flavor profiles. Most Gesha coffees have a floral base with some further fruit tones. This Gesha is extremely complex but smooth and sweet. We are very lucky to have the opportunity to provide this to our customers this year in small amounts. This is a once in a lifetime chance to enjoy some of the most coveted coffee in the world!
