About: The Garrido family has been cultivating coffee in Boquete, Panama, since 1959 when Teodoro Garrido established the family's first farm. In the mid-1970s, Teodoro expanded the family business by acquiring another existing farm. Originally established in 1911, making it one of Boquete's oldest coffee farms, and now named after the previous owner, Mama Cata is home to the finest Geisha produced by the Garrido family. While the Garrido and Mama Cata names may not be widely recognized (as most of their coffees are sold in Asian markets), the family is producing exceptional coffees on some of Panama's most prized land, neighboring Elida Estate and Hacienda La Esmeralda.
During the processing of this ASD Natural Geisha, cherries underwent fermentation in sealed tanks with limited exposure to oxygen before being dried on raised beds. This Geisha is characterized by its sweetness and notable hints of purple fruit and vanilla.
