THE TASTE EXPERIENCE

THE TASTE EXPERIENCE

An incredibly juicy cup with apricot sweetness and a citrusy aftertaste. Complex notes of jasmine flowers, bergamot and stone fruit. 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.
