Lot GW-14: Abu Coffee Geisha Washed
ABU COFFEE is a Geisha varietal cultivated in HACIENDA CAÑAS
VERDES located the region of Cañas Verdes, Boquete, in a humid and
rainy microclimate typical of the tropical forest. Coffee trees are
grown on the slopes of the Volcán Barú National Park, which are
fertile, well-drained, volcanic origin, and deep soils enriched
with organic content.
The average altitude is 1550 meters above sea level. The
shade protecting the plantation is given by native trees that grow
in harmony with abundant local flora and fauna, respecting the
environment and biodiversity. Given its strategic geographic
location, sunlight is a crucial element throughout the whole
process. The plantation receives powerful solar radiation,
interrupted in the mornings and sunsets by a soft tropical mist
known locally as "Bajareque" and caressed by thick fog.
Harvest season begins in summer, approximately in December
and extends until March, months when the humidity drops, which,
combined with the natural shade and the Bajareque mist, achieves
the perfect balance for the maturation process. As a result, the
cherries develop their maximum potential, optimally intensifying
the sugars, and enriching the bean's flavor.
The virgin rain forests where the ABU COFFEE plantations lie
within make of its climate an extraordinary condition to achieve a
unique combination of characteristics that make our Geisha
one-of-a-kind coffee with personality, intense juicy flavors, and
aromatic floral notes.

Coffee details
| Description: | The coffee is hand collected in the optimum maturation point and then hand-selected. Then we apply a double phase anaerobic process where the coffee cherries are stored in closed tanks for 24 hours. Then the coffee cherries are pulped. The coffee beans go through a second phase of fermentation with mucilage for 48 hours before being fully hand-washed with clean mountain water. Finally, the coffee is slow sun-dried on raised beds for approximately 15 days. |

Producer Story:
ABU COFFEE was named to honor the memory of our father, José Guillermo Luttrell Tedman, the third generation of coffee producers, and to continue his dream of achieving what he considered the best-balanced coffee cup; a Geisha raised with the highest standards of quality. That is why "ABU" (short for ABUELO, GRANDFATHER IN SPANISH), as his grandchildren used to call him, represents the legacy of this visionary and passionate lover of Boquete and specialty coffee that we want to preserve for the generations to come.
