THE TASTE EXPERIENCE

THE TASTE EXPERIENCE

An incredibly rich and complex cup showing an elegant expression of Geisha with beautiful floral aromatics all the way through. Complex notes of Almond, Rose and Chocolate. The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti of Coffee.

Panama Esmeralda Geisha is my favourite coffee because it reflects my cooking philosophy in the cup. It is elegant, balanced and with a strong identify. I am surprised every time when I taste it and rediscover all its nuances, and I am amazed at its complexity.
