Farm and Producer

Mi Finquita is Ratibor and Tessie Hartmann's project in Los Pozos, in Panama's Chiriquí highlands. They purchased the land in 2015, establishing a farm separate from Finca Hartmann; coffee production began in 2020.

The farm grows several Arabica varieties and prepares selections separately. This natural Gesha is identified as Los Pozos Arriba.

Variety

Gesha, also spelled Geisha, is an Arabica variety with Ethiopian origins. It is valued for high cup-quality potential and floral aromatics, especially under suitable high-elevation growing conditions. Its expression also depends on cultivation, processing, and roasting.

Processing

Natural processing dries the coffee with the cherry surrounding the seed. Contact with the fruit during fermentation and drying can contribute to fruit expression and body; careful moisture management remains important.
