LERIDA GEISHA LOT #5: Panama Honey

This expressive Lérida Lot 5 coffee is produced at Finca Lérida in Boquete, Chiriquí, Panama—where altitude, mist, and volcanic soil converge to shape a truly vibrant cup. Crafted using the honey process, this lot offers a gentle sweetness and silky texture that accentuate its floral and fruit-forward character.

Notes of red lily and pomegranate bloom on the nose, while red apple and green grape lend a crisp, juicy brightness. A soft lightness of tea and tangerine rounds out the profile, adding clarity and sparkle. The result is a cup that feels both uplifting and delightful.

Tasting Notes: Red Lily, Pomegranate, Red Apple, Green Grape, Roobois Tea, Tangerine

Cup score:  93.00 ☕ 

Finca Lérida, the producer of this coffee, stands at the forefront of the international Panama coffee movement. Its most significant milestone was becoming the first farm in the country to export coffee to Europe, marking Panama’s entry into the global specialty coffee market. 

We also have the Lerida Geisha Lot #5 Washed Process available, which is the same coffee, but produced with a washed process. It’s fascinating to explore the nuanced differences between this Geisha coffee through the lens of two unique processing techniques (honey vs washed).
