Blue Label Geisha (ESMERALDA)

The Blue Label is standard Geisha, representing the daily production of Geisha from Hacienda La Esmeralda. It is carefully selected from Geisha varieties grown at approximately 1500 meters altitude. This grade of Geisha is only available in washed processing. It comes from a blend of beans from three different estates: Jaramillo, Cañas Verdes, and El Velo, offering subtle floral notes, fruit acidity, and sweetness, with a relatively lighter body.
