Valle 3NC is an exceptional natural-processed Gesha microlot from Hacienda La Esmeralda's legendary Cañas Verdes farm. This prestigious lot showcases the intense fruit character and wine-like complexity that has made Esmeralda's natural Geshas world-renowned, with cupping scores consistently above 91 points.
THE PRODUCER
The Peterson Family's Hacienda La Esmeralda is synonymous with the rediscovery of Gesha and the elevation of Panama coffee to world-class status. Established in 1967 by Rudolph Peterson, the family made history in 2004 when their Jaramillo Geisha broke all records at the Best of Panama auction. The Cañas Verdes farm, home to the Valle lot, sits on the slopes of Volcán Barú and produces some of their most complex microlots.
THE PROCESS
The Natural process at Hacienda La Esmeralda involves:
- 🍒 Selective Harvest — Only the ripest Gesha cherries from the Valle lot
- ☀️ Extended Drying — Slow dried for approximately 46 days on raised beds
- 🌡️ Climate Control — Cold temperature, dehydrated room maintains stable conditions
- 📅 Extended Rest — Careful conditioning before hulling
THE CUP
An extraordinary natural Gesha with intense hibiscus florals, vibrant Cara Cara orange citrus, and complex Pinot Noir wine notes. The extended natural process amplifies the exotic fruit character while maintaining the elegant Gesha structure.
Flavour Notes
- 🌺 Hibiscus
- 🍊 Cara Cara Orange
- 🍷 Pinot Noir
We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 6–12 weeks.
