Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.
What Friedhats says about this coffee
As you might have noticed, we’re doing more geshas than we used to do. No specific reason for this other than that we’re tasting coffees from Panama that are just too good to pass up.
Panama has always been known for their high quality coffees. They don’t produce big volumes (only about 100.000 bags a year) so their way of standing out has always been quality. The main regions Boquete and Volcán have good infrastructure and well-run wet and dry mills. It was here where the gesha variety became famous. Gesha trees are not easy to grow, but they thrive in the microclimates of the areas situated around the three volcanos in the Chiriqui province.
The Abu farm is named after grandfather Jose Guillermo Luttrell Tedman and is situated in the Cañas Verdes region at 1550 masl, which is relatively low for Panama-gesha-standards. But this coffee tastes amazing, so who cares!
The cherries are hand collected and sorted according to the right maturation point and then pulped and macerated for 24 hours in tanks. The cherries are thereafter hand-washed with mountain spring water. Once the coffee has been fully washed, it is dried on raised beds for 15 days.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
How it sits among coffee from Panama
Friedhats describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, citrus. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Panama; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Panama, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

A further 2 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
