The freshness of pink grapefruit with a hint of light spice, and a jasmine aroma that gently fills the palate. **Country**: Panama **Region**: Boquete **Farm**: Elida Estate **Lot**: Torre / 120325 - 491 **Altitude**: 1,800-1,850m **Variety**: Geisha **Processing**: Washed *** **Why we select** The Lamastus family began cultivating coffee in 1918 in the Boquete region of Panama, near the Baru Volcano National Park. For over a century, four generations have been dedicated to coffee farming, making them one of Panama’s most renowned coffee-producing families. Elida Estate, one of the four farms they operate, has earned multiple awards at the Best of Panama and is celebrated as one of the finest producers of Geisha coffee in the world. The Washed Geisha from the Torre lot introduced here is a coffee made from cherries harvested at the Torre lot, located at a high altitude of 1,850 meters. After harvesting, the cherries are depulped, washed, and then naturally dried. What we found particularly interesting during tasting was the processing timing. While it is common to pulp cherries harvested in the morning and begin drying them shortly afterward, the Torre lot carries out pulping at 6 p.m., with drying starting thereafter. This approach gives the coffee a more dimensional structure, while allowing the Torre lot’s signature, perfume-like jasmine character to be expressed in its purest form. *** **Aery’s comment** As professionals, we carefully curate our lineup with only the highest-quality coffees - those with rare and exceptional green beans and remarkably clear flavor profiles that specialty coffee lovers can truly trust and enjoy. Just like our name aery, which means light as air, we are a rostery that pursues clean, transparent, and delicately expressive flavors in every cup. Since coffee needs time to reach its optimal brewing state, we recommend brewing about 10 days after the roast date for the best experience. For brewing, we use a ratio of 1:17–18 (coffee to water) to achieve a cup that feels balanced and expressive without being too strong. We encourage you to adjust this according to your own taste and preference. *** **Founder & Roaster** Junghwan Lim **Career Highlights** - 2020 Korea National Barista Championship - 5th place - 2022 Korea National Barista Championship - 3th place - 2024 Korea National Barista Championship - 1th place - 2024 World Barista Championship - Finalist
