Mt Totumas Pre-Dry Geisha Natural Swiss BrC Championship Lot

About This Coffee

This year we had the privilege of visiting Karin de la Rosa at her farm at Mt. Totumas Cloud Forest, deep in the jungle of Los Pozos, Panama. After a very long drive, we arrived at the farm and was greeted by Karin working on processing some lots. We spent the night at the lodge there, which is an incredible eco-habitat, and the next day cupped her coffees. The moment we tried this pre-dry geisha, we knew it was going to be something special and Sierra instantly said she wanted this to be her Brewers Cup Coffee. This was back in March 2025. Fast forward to April, and George from China used this lot to win the WBrC. Fast forward to last weekend, and Sierra also used it to win the Swiss National Brewers Cup Competition. This coffee is something special. This lot is grown up at around 1800masl, in a humid cloud forest. The growing is done really with mother nature, growing incredibly sweet coffee cherries. The processing here is interesting as Karin uses a pre-dry on raised beds of the ripe cherries for 5 days. Then it's taken into sealed grainpro bags and placed under the cold water of the stream that runs through Mt. Totumas. It's fermented here in bags under water where the cool fermentation for 15 days brings out complexity, and intensity. Afterwards it's dried for 8 weeks in a combination of beds, and then mechanical dryers to lock in that flavour. This lot is really something special, where every little detail makes a difference, and the outcome is extraordinary, we've tasted predominantly tropical fruits, like mango, papaya, and hints of pineapple, with clear grape notes, and florals like jasmine, and roses most commonly. Sometimes we've found notes like Red Apple, Mandarin, Orange, Coffee Blossom, Honey, and Violets. You can expect a very sweet, very clean cup, with lots of complexity from hot to cold. Grab this one while you can, as it's in very limited supply - we have just 13 doses of this, and it won't last long! Roast date will be the 1st of December - just 1 batch! Limited to max 3 per customer!
