A rare and extraordinary offering: Graciano Cruz's legendary bamboo geisha, processed using the washed method for the first time. This exceptional coffee grows at 1800-2000 meters above sea level at Los Lajones estate, one of Central America's highest farms, where bamboo trees provide natural protection to the delicate geisha varietals.
Breaking from his signature natural processing methods, this special edition was meticulously washed using water transported from Boquete town, followed by a carefully controlled fermentation and three-week drying process on African beds.
It represents a unique intersection of tradition and innovation, offering an unprecedented opportunity to experience the pure, unadulterated flavor profile of bamboo geisha through the lens of washed processing.
The resulting brew is one of the sweetest coffees I’ve tasted with notes of marzipan, honey and orange.
