Adaura - Natural Gesha - Panama

ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER

This coffee comes from Marcus Durán of Finca Lorayne of Adaura Coffee in Boquete, Panama. This region is renowned for cultivating extraordinary Gesha coffees, and this coffee is no different. It was processed via the natural classic sun-dried process. The resulting coffee is incredibly clean and filled with nuance and complexity. We had the pleasure of meeting Marcus at SCA Chicago this year, where he shared this and other delicious coffees with us. This year, Marcus received Best of Panama #1 for his washed processed Gesha submission, and #7 for another Natural Gesha lot he submitted. We’re grateful that Marcus has shared his beautiful craft with us, and hope you’ll enjoy our presentation of his coffee.

WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE

We’ve been long contemplating finding a Panama Gesha to source for our Nova Series lineup — which led us to Marcus’ corner at the Best of Panama booth at SCA Expo in Chicago this year. He generously prepared his coffees for us to try, and we were immediately blown away by their clarity and expressiveness. We knew we wanted to work with Marcus for our first Panama Gesha. We’re partial to highly complex and clean naturals, so we selected this natural processed Gesha that showcases an incredibly delicious tangerine sweetness balanced with subtle yellow peach tartness, layered with honeysuckle aromas.
