Introducing Esmeralda Special Geisha
At Coffee Supreme we’re always excited about coffee. However we are particularly thrilled to announce the arrival to our roastery of one of the most talked about coffees in the specialty world, Panamanian Esmeralda Special Geisha. This coffee will be available from Wednesday 14th December.
Hacienda La Esmeralda is located on the eastern side of Mt Baru, near Boquete in Western Panama. It produces premium grade coffee of which only a small proportion carries the name Esmeralda Special. This coffee consists of the famed Geisha varietal, a somewhat lost, low-yielding plant whose appearance belies the spectacular cups it produces.
Esmeralda Special can only be bought in an online auction and the unique flavour profile and small lot sizes create a huge demand, which in turn drives the auction prices to unheard of levels. It first hit the headlines in 2004 when it sold for a then record of US$21 per lb. Today the record stands at an impressive US$170 per lb. and will no doubt continue to climb in the future.
We hope you enjoy this rare treasure of the coffee world as much as we do. We are now taking pre-orders through our online store – click here for more.
