This set is a journey through patience and precision—where innovation meets tradition at the origin. Grown at the legendary Hacienda La Esmeralda, the farm renowned with rediscovering the long-forgotten Gesha variety in Panama—this trio of Geshas explores how cooling fermentation and drying processes unlock unparalleled clarity and complexity.
Inspired by the sloth’s unhurried grace, each coffee in the set reveals a unique expression of terroir: from Aguila’s laser-focused citrus, to Guabo’s soft, floral harmony, to Mario’s intricate cascade of fruit. Everyman is a masterclass in slowing down, and a reminder that extraordinary flavor lies in the deliberate.

This set contains three distinct cold process Geshas:
Mario Banc Gesha | Natural Cold Dried
Defined by a cool, slow drying process, Mario delivers the most layered experience of the set. Its fuller body carries malic apple acidity, citrus, cherry, and tropical fruit.
Guabo Frio Gesha | Washed Cold Fermentation
Cold fermentation followed by natural drying creates a graceful, balanced cup. Guabo offers a delicate interplay of citrus, jasmine, and peach.
Aguila Gelado Gesha | Washed Cold Fermentation & Drying
Extended cooling at every stage of processing enhances its clarity, yielding vibrant yet refined notes of orange, orange blossom, and light peach.
Hacienda La Esmeralda is one of the world’s most iconic coffee estates in Panama’s Boquete region, originally a cattle farm before evolving into one of the most respected names in specialty coffee. In 1997, the farm planted Gesha trees that would go largely unnoticed until years later—when a small harvest from the Mario lot revealed a cup with extraordinary clarity and floral character, ultimately winning the 2004 Best of Panama competition. That moment marked the rediscovery of Gesha in Panama, and the beginning of a new era in specialty coffee. Today, under the leadership of Rachel Peterson, the farm continues to build on that legacy through thoughtful innovation and a relentless pursuit of clarity and complexity.
