FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Panama Esmeralda Estate Auction Geisha

Geisha originated from an unintentional discovery by the Peterson family in the 1990s. At that time, the estate was attacked by a coffee disease disaster, and only the Geisha variety survived. Since then, the estate owner has vigorously cultivated it, carefully planting and processing it in separate plots and micro-batches.

"World Renowned"

In 2004, with its magnificent, delicate, and richly varied flavor profile, it won the Best of Panama Cupping Championship and over 20 different awards,从此 began a continuous record of breaking records,长期 occupying the Top 3 positions in major international specialty coffee competitions.

"The World's No. 1 Geisha Estate"

In 1967, the first-generation estate owner purchased Esmeralda Estate. To date, the estate has over 50 years of history, always focusing on the cultivation and processing of the famous Geisha variety. It has four major estates under its management, with countless award-winning records.
