“Hacienda La Esmeralda is a coffee farm and we’re mostly known for being the first to bring the geisha variety to the world or to bring that flavour back into the world… in 2004.” — Rachel Peterson

“We were lucky enough to win all three of the categories of the Best of Panama 2025, the Geisha Washed, the Geisha Natural, and the Varietal.” — Rachel Peterson

Recent changes at Esmeralda centre on climate and time used at Best of Panama 2025. Slow, steady drying. Tight temperature control during fermentation.

“We use a climate control drying room where we can control the humidity, we can control the temperature and we can control the airflow.” — Rachel Peterson

“It dries at a steady rate without having fluctuations in temperature or in humidity so much.” — Rachel Peterson

For washed lots they lengthen and cool fermentation to sharpen structure.

“The low temperature fermentation that we use for the washed coffee… usually going to be 48 hours, two days… versus the outside fermentations that we do, which will be 24 hours.” — Rachel Peterson
