Panama Boquete Gesha
Boquete, Chiriquí · 1600–1900 masl · Washed
The iconic Panama Gesha: ethereal florals, tea-like body, and a perfumed finish that lingers for minutes.
Panama Gesha rewrote coffee's price records: at the 2019 Best of Panama auction a Gesha lot sold for over $1,000 per pound green. The variety was smuggled out of Ethiopia's Gori Gesha forest in the 1930s and sat unnoticed in Panama for decades.
