FrontStreet Coffee - Panama Coffee Brand - Janson Estate Red Label Geisha Sharing

FrontStreet Coffee knows that in the hearts of many coffee enthusiasts, there's always that one coffee that leaves a lasting impression after tasting. It might be the acidic aroma of Kenya, the floral and fruity notes of Yirgacheffe, or the rich and full-bodied Mandheling. But today, FrontStreet Coffee recommends a coffee from Panama - Janson Estate Red Label Geisha.

Estate Introduction

Janson Estate is located on the western side of the Baru Volcano, with a total area of 1,200 hectares. The farm's soil is nutrient-rich volcanic ash soil. Since Geisha coffee must be grown in high-altitude areas, at approximately 1,750 meters above sea level, the coffee gardens are scattered across various farms, unable to form large-scale cultivation, resulting in limited production and naturally high prices.

The uniquely advantageous environment allows the Geisha coffee grown here to be perfectly presented. The harvested fruits mainly consist of ox-blood red coffee cherries with excellent quality. The farm implements scientific and large-scale management to improve both yield and quality. The estate also features a 7,000-foot-long runway that can accommodate small private aircraft.
