Panama Geisha- 531
This Panama Geisha comes from the Janson Coffee Farm which is located in the Talamanca Mountain Range near the Tisingal and Baru volcanoes in Volcan, Panama. It is a family owned Hacienda that was established in 1941 by Carl Axel Janson. The farm's main focus is quality production. No pesticides, no herbicides! The balance of nutrients in the soil comes from using enzyme micro organisms. This farm is committed to improve and protect the environment by using solar panels to produce the energy for the farm, reusing all excess matter from processing for fuel and fertilizer, and seeds from the forests are planted in the nursery for reforestation and protection of water resources. Natural spring water is used for their Washed processing.
The Janson's processing plant was built in 1993. It was designed specifically for specialty coffee. They do Natural and Washed processing with updated technology added to artisanal methods to achieve the quality you will experience in this delicious bean!
Cupping notes: Balanced, juicy, crisp, mild, and smooth with flavor notes of milk chocolate, caramel, orange blossom, lemon, black cherry, and blueberry!
Try before you stock up with a 1/2 pound sample!

This was an interesting bean. On roasting, it was obvious that these were good quality beans. Not a bad bean in the bag. I roasted half as a light, and half as a medium. We did the medium first, and it was very good - caramel and blueberry notes. The light is amazing though. Citrus. Citrus. More citrus. I love this bean. I was not sure about the price, but wanted to see if I was able to REALLY see a difference. I highly recommend this coffee, and roast it light.

incredible stuff. I've been roasting for about 5 years w/ Behmore 1600 and I'm never able to quite reproduce a "George Howell" quality-level roast (for central american variety that I like - or Kenya AA/AB) no matter where I source the green beans from (and I'm sure my roasting skills are also to blame!), but these beans are at that level post-roast and perfect for a pour over. Light-to-medium roast on this one.

I screwed up the roast on this one. However it was still pretty good after sitting for a week.

Not only is the coffee delicious, but the roasting was a delight too. I roast manually, with a nut-roaster pan over an open flame, and I was struck immediately by the mellow aromas coming off the beans. It's a pricey brew, but I'm finding myself ripping through the 1/2 pound sample and ready for more!

Very smooth and subtle flavors. I probably would have rated it as "love it", except given the high praise I normally see for Geisha coffee, I was expecting a little more of a wow factor, relative to the Ethiopian organic yirgacheffe that I normally buy from Coffee Bean Corral (although maybe this just speaks to the quality of my comparable). Reading online, it says to go with a light to medium roast (definitely not dark), and to let it de-gas for 10-14 days (much longer than most beans). I followed these directions and was much more particular about my roasting and brewing process than usual, but I may try a few variations of each to see if I can get more out of it.

Probably going to have to make this my favorite bean, it’s well balanced and roast nicely.
