      Hunter Tedman - La Huaca - Geisha [washed] — Panama

      La Huaca is one of three plots at Hacienda Bárbara which is owned by the Rogers Family & managed by agronomist Hunter Tedman. Hunter s a fourth-generation coffee farmer, has been a two-time president of the Specialty Coffee Association of Panama & also runs own farm Black Moon. Half of farm is set aside as a protected forest, with coffee growing under a canopy of century old shade trees. During the day the farm is covered in mist & along with cool winds from the north provides ideal coffee growing conditions. This lot from Hunter was processed using the washed method, after harvesting the cherries were sorted, de-pulped, fermented & then dried until the moisture has reduced to 11%.

      In 1931, a British ambassador picked a selection of coffee berries in Southwest Ethiopia near a village called Gesha. In 1932 seeds from these plants were sent to Kenya. In 1936 seedlings were sent to Uganda & Tanzania. In the mid 50's seeds were sent from Tanzania to Costa Rica, where trials began. In 1963 Don Pachi Serracin brought some Geisha seeds to Panama, but attempts to grow Geisha were axed due to poor flavour, [most likely caused by the plants growing at too low an altitude]. Geisha, was then forgotten about until 2002 when Daniel Peterson from Hacienda Esmeralda decided to cup coffee from different parts of his farm & came across this extraordinary coffee we know as Geisha.
