Rio Cristal Geisha Natural #3405

About This Coffee

This natural Geisha comes from Finca Río Cristal, one of the emblematic farms of the Kotowa Coffee group, nestled between 1,700 and 1,850 m altitude in the misty mountains of Boquete, Panama. Surrounded by the La Amistad reserve and crossed by a river with crystalline waters, the farm benefits from a unique microclimate. After harvesting, the cherries are first left to rest in bags to initiate a slight maceration. They then spend 24 hours in a cold air warehouse, allowing the sugars to stabilize and prepare for natural fermentation. The coffee is then spread in a thin layer on African beds, where it dries in the sun for about ten days. Once this pre-drying is complete, the cherries are placed in a static dryer at low temperature to finalize stabilization. This meticulous process develops an aromatic profile of great intensity. In the cup, this Geisha offers an explosion of fruity sweetness with notes of apricot and red fruits, wrapped in an smoothness reminiscent of crème brûlée. A delicate rose florality sublimates the whole, bringing elegance and depth. An exceptional coffee, a true reflection of the patience, know-how and visionary spirit of Kotowa Coffee.
