Farm and Producer

Mi Finquita is Ratibor Jr. and Tessie Hartmann's coffee project in Los Pozos, Chiriquí. They purchased the land in 2015 and the farm began producing coffee in 2020. Gesha grows alongside several other varieties, with the project's individual lots prepared separately.

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

In washed processing, the fruit pulp and remaining mucilage are removed before the coffee is dried. This approach often emphasizes a defined structure and separation of flavors, while fermentation and drying choices still influence the result.
