this is a geisha from hacienda la esmeralda, one of boquete, panama's most recognised farms for the variety. despite the listing noting a washed process, the tasting notes align with a honey process, so expect a cup that sits between clean and lightly sweet. jasmine and broader floral character lead, followed by black tea dryness and a honeycomb sweetness that lingers. the tea-like quality makes it delicate rather than heavy. brew it with lower water temperature, around 88 to 92 celsius, using a pourover or filter method to keep the floral notes clear and avoid muddying the lighter body.

about calico coffee
you notice the filter bar first, hand-built and low, the kind of thing someone who trained as an architect would obsess over. junchao jonny huang did exactly that before placing third at the 2023 uk brewers cup and opening calico on lower marsh near waterloo. dark wood, soft light, no wasted gestures. huang roasts some of the coffee himself, sources his own green, and still brings in guest roasters when it makes sense. every drink comes with an origin card. considered without being precious about it.
