Panama Janson Farms Geisha Volcan High Lands Panama: Janson Farms Geisha, Volcan High Lands

Not sad with this purchase. Shipping was quick. The coffee was great and right up there with other Gesha coffees I have had from the same area at a fair price for this variety of coffee. When I spend this much in a pound of beans it is a treat yo'self special buy for me. The bags they shipped these in was a nice touch so knuckle bumps to whoevers idea that was. I will definitly be ordering more beans from this business.

It is just wonderful. Had the opportunity to visit farm 10 years ago and spent time with the Janson family while there. There are not enough good things to say. Picked up a couple bags when I was in Panama City recently and enjoyed my finally cup from that purchase this morning. Need to order some today. Always will remember Ricardo Janson, a remarkable man and think about him often since he passed.

This is a fantastic example of a geisha. I did a city/city+ roast, stopping once the first crack was almost entirely complete. The flavors are typically "tea-like," so it's best with no/little milk. It's a bit too floral for a latte - especially anything with a fair bit of milk. My wife likes 16oz lattes, and it doesn't have enough punch for those. In a 12oz latte it's good but probably not worth the price. But in a cappuccino, flat white, or straight shot it's superb. Can't speak to pour-over or similar as we're an espresso family. I used to love geshas more than anything. But lately I have been really drawn to the Hawaiian beans for their richness and fully profile. I was on the fence about getting more gesha, just because it seems my tastes have changed over the past couple years. This is an outstanding coffee. But I would say the lighter, more floral notes of geshas just don't resonate with me as much as they used to. This is a superb example of that - tea-like, floral, light and complex. So 5/5 for what it is and should be.

IN REPLY to post by richard on March 6, 2023 I’m guessing you didn’t read the part that says green coffee is RAW! You need to roast it before consuming. I’ve sold this coffee for years. One of their coffees even won the Best of Panamá auction recently. It wasn’t this particular coffee but all of their micro lots are excellent.

No help on this site where I bought the coffee. Good thing it was only a small amount. All comments state the coffee is fantastic, so far I'm not with them. ———————

Light these had some good floral notes. Medium just at second crack, they are full of chocolate and caramel flavors. Just wow, some really great coffee you should try.

Excellent! Great flavors. Will buy again.

Any chance y’all will get natural processed Janson Farm Gesha?

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!

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