Roast Level: Light Variety: Gesha Process: Natural Region: Alto Quiel, Panama Elevation: 1870 m+ We taste: Jasmine, caramel, and pineapple Founded in 1967 by Rudolph Peterson, Hacienda La Esmeralda is a family farm in Boquete, Panama, known for its over 50 years of coffee cultivation excellence. The farm benefits from rich volcanic soil and an ideal climate, contributing to the vibrant flavors and exceptional aroma of its coffees. Guabo 3 BANC was harvested on January 31st, 2025 from the Guabo B location at Hacienda La Esmeralda’s El Velo farm. After picking, the coffee cherries were pre-dried outdoors for 3 days, then fermented for 5 days in a stainless steel anaerobic tank at the cool fermentation room. Drying was then completed in an indoor climate-controlled facility for 3–4 days, with consistent airflow and precise temperature and humidity control. Now managed by Rachel and Alex Peterson, Hacienda La Esmeralda has won 1st prize at the Best of Panama competition in 2006, 2009, 2010, and 2019 -- and in 2025 became the first producer in history to win all three major categories in the same year (Gesha Washed, Gesha Natural, and Varietals), achieving the competition’s first-ever “triple crown.” Fun fact: In 2004, the Peterson family made headlines at the Best of Panama competition by highlighting the Gesha varietal, which achieved the highest auction price ever and won first place.
