Description

To say that we are excited about this lot would be a gross understatement. For the first time ever, we are proud to present this coffee from Hacienda La Esmeralda, one of the most infamous and spectacular coffee farms worldwide.

Renowned for their consistent cup quality and origins within the Panama Geisha community, the Peterson Family have effectively revolutionized the high end coffee market with winning their introduction to the Best of Panama Competition way back in 2004. Since then, the family has continued to practice profound understanding of coffee production, as well as consistently redefining the rules as to what coffee can be. They have consistently sold some of the most expensive lots the world has ever seen, and they do it all while remaining true to their values while allowing their coffees to come through at the forefront.

This, put simply, has been a dream of ours since before we started LVC. Having Hacienda La Esmeralda on your offer list is sort of like a bucket list type of checkmark for any roaster who truly values what high end lots & Panama Geisha's taste like.

This lot is from the Jaramillo farm and is the Buenos Aires 6FB lot. The code FB stands for cool fermented washed with raised bed drying. After pulping, the cool fermentation (F) was done in stainless steel tanks, dry fermentation aerobically for 48 hours occurred. The microlot was then transfered to raised beds where it slow dried for 24 days.

We are thrilled and honoured to have this lot on our offer list. It tastes about as classic as it gets, with jasmine, peach, orange blossom, blood orange & pomelo all shining through. This coffee has truly specialty packaging, with a printing pressed box encasing an amber glass jar, with the details of the lot laser engraved onto the lid. The coffee is roasted and then immediately frozen to preserve freshness, and when purchased, will be removed from deep freeze to allow the aging process to begin. This lot is extremely limited, to only 10kgs.
