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 Drip Roasters says about this coffee

This natural Panama Gesha is elegant and beautiful. We find notes of stone and tropical fruit, dark berries and lots of florals. It is a great representation of the Panama Gesha.

Having visited the farm in 2022, this is the second time we're featuring one of their coffees as a limited edition release. The coffee is grown on Don Benjie's «El Silencio» plot and processed as a natural. It is then dried in a temperature-controlled room and the beans are hand-sorted to only include the highest quality.

A further 3 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.
