Panama Hacienda La Esmeralda Ethiopian Accessions

Summary

A rare blend from Hacienda La Esmeralda in Panama, this coffee is made from 400 different Ethiopian accessions planted at the El Velo farm at 1700 meters above sea level. The varieties were collected from Southwest Ethiopia and include older collections such as Dilla, Alghe, and Cioiccie. The coffee is washed processed: pulped, demucilaged, fermented in concrete tanks for 24 hours, and dried on raised racks for 8-10 days. Tasting notes include coriander, lemon, ginger blossom, lively acidity, and caramel-like sweetness. A Coffee Review rated it 95 points, describing tarragon, lilac, nectarine, and lemon balm aromas with a bright, juicy acidity and plush mouthfeel.
