Harvested in July 2021, the Bosque 41AS nano-lot, of which there are only 45kg, was sold exclusively to Difference Coffee.This version is from the same lot that took fourth place in the 2021 Best of Panama Washed Geisha competition and scored a whooping 93 points in the competition. It was processed by the wet method with the ferment conducted under anaerobic (reduced oxygen) conditions with a special yeast innoculation. This edition, therefore is extremely limited, expected to produce 690 boxes only.
