About the Farm and Producer

Finca Don Benjie supplies coffee from the Boquete highlands to Lost Origin, a processing laboratory in Panama City. Franz Zeimetz and the lab team use custom fermentation vessels and controlled drying rooms to study processing variables. This set brings together three depulped Gesha preparations from the collaboration.

Variety

Gesha, also spelled Geisha, is an Arabica variety with Ethiopian origins. It has high cup-quality potential under suitable growing conditions and is often associated with floral aromatics. Those tendencies do not determine the tasting notes of an individual lot.

Processing

The three bags compare depulped Gesha prepared with different fermentation-water treatments: RO, APAX Tonik, and APAX Lylac. RO refers to reverse-osmosis water; Tonik and Lylac are mineral concentrates used to adjust water composition.

Depulping removes the cherry skin before fermentation while leaving mucilage around the seed. Lost Origin manages fermentation and drying in controlled equipment. Comparing the three coffees offers a way to explore how water composition during processing can influence the finished cup.
