About: The Fernandez family’s adventure in coffee began in 1970, when Nahun’s grandfather moved to Santa Barbara, purchased some land, and planted his first coffee trees. Over the years, each member of Nahun’s family has grown coffee on the same land, passed down through the generations. Today, Nahun’s father, brothers, and children all still farm the land that’s become known as Finca Don Andres (named after Nahun’s father). More recently, Nahun purchased a new farm located higher up the mountain, near the tiny community of Ocotillo. The higher altitude, cooler temperatures, and thick layer of fog that often shrouds the farm make it perfect for growing Geisha. The story of Panamanian Geisha growing in Santa Barbara will forever be tied to Proud Mary. During various visits, Proud Mary founder, Nolan Hirte, brought seeds from some of the most famous farms in Panama. This means that Nahun's Geisha comes from the same genetic lineage as the best Geishas in the world. This coffee is sweet and floral, with delicate citrus and stone fruit notes.
