Elida Aguacate Geisha Washed DRD

Description

We first connected with Wilford during a cupping session at Lamastus Estates - his meticulous approach to his shade dried, higher altitude lots stood out immediately. The farm sits amid misty terraces in Boquete, where the Geisha plants thrive under a canopy of native shade trees, drawing complexity from the microclimate at 1900m at Elida Estates at the Aguacate Lot. Cherries are hand‑picked at peak ripeness, and then fermented for under 24 hours in cherry, before being depulped, washed, and dried. The drying is special on this lot as it's done in the purpose built Dark Room for drying coffees. Here there is a low temperature and humidity that dries the coffee very slowly, which makes this lot very stable and consistent. This classic style of fermentation brings out a classic geisha profile - very floral, very citrusy, clean and sweet.  This coffee is a classic Panama Geisha Washed - ideal for both filter, this lot embodies what we look for at Rose: a coffee with clarity, sweetness, and expressive terroir. Wilford’s attention to detail shines through every sip, and is a delicious expression of Panama Terroir.
