Panama: Hacienda La Esmeralda Lino 7B

The washed Gesha from the farm that introduced Gesha to the world: floral, crystal-clear and elegant like a fine tea.

In the cup

It opens with jasmine and orange blossom, followed by mandarin and honey. The finish brings green tea with a touch of strawberry and redcurrant. Lively yet rounded acidity, light and silky body, long and clean finish.

Perfect if…

• you love delicate, floral coffees to sip slowly;
• you want to taste Gesha in its purest form;

The story

In 2004 the Gesha from Hacienda La Esmeralda won Best of Panama and changed specialty coffee forever. Lino 7B is a washed lot: hand-picked cherries are sorted in spring water, fermented for about 24 hours, washed, soaked and slowly dried on raised beds. A process designed to let the variety speak.

Competition-grade freshness

Every Over Your Limits coffee is stored green, vacuum-sealed and frozen, the same technique used for competition coffees, and we roast it only when you order. The cold stops the green bean from ageing and protects its sugars, acidity and aromas, so every lot reaches your cup with the same profile as the day we first tasted it, even months after harvest.

Why Over Your Limits

Because it shows Gesha unfiltered: no extreme processing, just clarity and precision.
