LERIDA GEISHA LOT #5: Panama Washed

This delicate Geisha coffee is produced at Finca Lérida, located in Boquete, Chiriquí, Panama. The washed process imparts refined clarity shining throughout the cup experience.

The flavor profile is deeply influenced by the estate’s stunning terroir—including rich volcanic Panamanian soil, cool misty air, and vibrant biodiversity—which adds a refreshing, tea-like spark. The result is a cup that feels special, relaxing, and comforting.

Tasting Notes: Arabian Jasmine, Albion Strawberry, Honey Crisp Apple, Pomelo, Whiskey Oak

Cup score:  93.75 ☕ 

We also have the Lerida Geisha Lot #5 Honey 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 (washed vs honey).

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.
