Las Brujas Gesha - Rarities Collection

We're excited to introduce the second edition of our Rarities collection: Las Brujas Gesha. This exceptional coffee hails from the picturesque Boquete region of Panama, a place renowned for its unique microclimates that produce distinct and complex flavour profiles.

Las Brujas is one of the farms owned by the Koyner family, who have played a pivotal role in Panama's coffee story. Ricardo Koyner, a third-generation coffee grower, along with his daughter Victoria, combines traditional farming techniques with modern biochemistry to produce truly outstanding coffees.

Boquete’s mountainous terrain creates a range of microclimates within a short distance. Some farms receive winds and rains from the Pacific, while others benefit from both Pacific and Atlantic influences. This diversity results in unique flavour profiles for each farm. Las Brujas, in particular, showcases the best of these conditions with its vibrant tropical and berry notes.

The meticulous processing methods used at Las Brujas ensure the highest quality of fermentation. The coffee cherries start drying on beds, undergo aerobic fermentation until they reach 20% humidity, and are then slow-dried in a cold storage until they reach 15%. Finally, they are dehumidified until they achieve the perfect moisture level of 11%.

Las Brujas Gesha offers a symphony of flavours. When hot, you’ll experience notes of papaya, caramel, and fresh orange. As the coffee cools, it reveals vibrant raspberry, apricot, and red apple notes. When cold, new dimensions emerge with hints of white grape, lime, and cacao nibs.

Priced at £40, this coffee is an investment in a unique sensory journey. Each Rarities offering is presented in six sealed 20g whole bean doses for optimal preservation. We recommend freezing these doses immediately to maintain their freshness and build your personal rare archive.

Las Brujas Gesha is not just a coffee; it's an experience that captures the essence of Boquete’s unique microclimates and the Koyner family’s dedication to excellence. We invite you to indulge in this rare and exquisite offering from our Rarities collection.
