Region and Farm Introduction: Located in Boquete, Chiriquí, Panamá, El Velo is one of the high-elevation farms within Hacienda La Esmeralda, benefiting from cool mountain conditions and the unique terroir of the region. These conditions allow the Gesha cherries to mature slowly, contributing to the variety’s characteristic floral aromatics, vibrant acidity, and refined sweetness.

Hacienda La Esmeralda is internationally renowned for bringing Gesha into the global specialty coffee spotlight through its exceptional coffees and historic performances at the Best of Panama competition. The El Velo farm represents the estate’s continued focus on carefully cultivated and selectively harvested Gesha lots, expressing the elegance and distinctive character of La Esmeralda.

Processing Method Features: This lot is processed using the Washed method, where ripe cherries are depulped, fermented to remove the remaining mucilage, thoroughly washed, and carefully dried. By removing the fruit before drying, the process emphasizes clarity, acidity, and the intrinsic characteristics of the Gesha variety.

The cup presents elegant jasmine florals, followed by vibrant grapefruit citrus and delicate apricot sweetness. The combination creates a clean, bright, and refined profile with a graceful floral character and refreshing citrus structure.
