this is a gesha from hacienda la esmeralda, one of boquete, panama's most recognized estates for the varietal. despite the "natural tumaco" name in the listing, the process recorded is washed, which strips away fruit-forward fermentation influence and lets the gesha's inherent character come through cleanly. expect lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, bright and precise rather than jammy. it scored 92.75, placing it firmly in the exceptional range. roasted by bean & bean queens in new york, it suits brewing methods that highlight clarity and acidity, pour-over or aeropress with water around 93°c will keep those citrus notes clean and well-defined.
