Reserva de Cabaña 4 BANC was harvested on February 3rd, 2026 from the highest elevation of the Cabaña lot in Hacienda La Esmeralda’s Cañas Verdes Farm. After harvest, the coffee cherries were pre-dried for 3 days outside on raised beds and then fermented for 5 days in a stainless steel anaerobic tank in our cold fermentation room. Finally, the drying phase was completed in our climate - controlled drying room for 48 days. An indoor facility with constant airflow and precise temperature and humidity control. Reserva de Cabaña 4 BANC has notes of jasmine, peach, and brown sugar.

Cañas Verdes has a distinct three to four months dry season, but even then, the air is cool. Half of Cañas Verdes is part of the original Peterson holdings purchased in 1967, with the land first dedicated to pasture for beef and, later, dairy cattle. Several small growers have grown coffee in this hard to reach area for some time. After the rediscovery of Geisha, the Peterson family began purchasing smaller lots around the original Cañas Verdes farm and expanding their Geisha production. Since then, many award-winning Esmeralda Geisha lots have come from the hillsides of Cañas Verdes. 

Discover the coffee that changed the industry, Hacienda La Esmeralda is iconic for having rediscovered Geisha in 2004. It was a happenstance of altitude and lot separation that discovered Geisha’s amazing flavors and aromatics. We have a long time relationship with the Peterson's, these Geisha micro-lots coffee collection are sold exclusively by direct trade. Since 2004 the Peterson family have worked hard to create the infrastructure that supports a Geisha production, that consistently delivers the attributes that made the world fall in love with this special coffee variety.

This Panama Esmeralda Reserva from Klatch Coffee showcases the Geisha varietal, prized for its distinctive aromatic complexity and clarity. Sourced from Hacienda La Esmeralda in the Cañas Verdes region, this lot employs natural processing, a method that typically intensifies fruit-forward character through extended skin contact during drying. The combination of Geisha's inherent floral and tea-like qualities with the fruit-concentrating effects of natural fermentation creates the tasting profile: blueberry and blackberry layered with jasmine florality, balanced by peach and raspberry brightness and brown sugar sweetness. The interplay between these notes—from delicate florals to jammy fruit—reflects both varietal character and process methodology.
