At CROWD ROASTER , we are currently running a special project in which we will have Japan's leading roasters roast "Esmeralda Special," the top-of-the-line brand from Esmeralda Farm, which is synonymous with Panama Geisha !
Following the first series, " Geisha Natural Montaña 2SN x Yoshiyuki Nakamura " and the second series, " Geisha Washed Trapiche 65AS x Ishii Yasuo ," the third series, " Geisha Natural Montaña 1SN x Tomomichi Morifuji ," has been released. I did it!
In this article, we will provide detailed information about this third Esmeralda Geisha lot.
The Esmeralda farm is divided into small sections.
This time's lot "Montaña 1SN" is the name of the plot located in Cañas Verdes, one of the three farms growing Geisha seeds in Esmeralda Farm.
Caña Verde is cultivated at a height of around 2,000m, which is higher than the other two farms, and although there is a dry season of 3 to 4 months, the unique microclimate with cool air produces Geisha with a different personality. I am.
Half of Caña Verde was part of the land that was included when Esmeralda Farm's owners, the Peterson family, first acquired Esmeralda Farm in 1967. At that time, the farm was a pasture for beef cattle, and later for dairy cattle. However, several small producers have been growing coffee in this area for some time. It wasn't until the 1990s that the Peterson family began growing coffee in earnest.

It wasn't until the 1990s that the Peterson family began growing coffee in earnest.
After Geisha was rediscovered, the Peterson family purchased a small parcel of land surrounding the original Caña Verde farm and expanded Geisha production. Since then, the many award-winning Esmeralda Geisha lots have come from this Caña Verde foothills.
Montaña made its name known around the world through auctions.
Caña Verde is divided into 12 plots, which give the impression that they are scattered on a slope (some of them adjoining each other, of course) rather than one large farm area.
Each plot has slight differences in climate, temperature, sunlight, and even soil, and Esmeralda Farm says each plot has its own unique flavor. Each plot is several hectares in size, but this particular lot, Montaña, is just 0.5 hectares in size.
This small section of Montaña became famous all over the world after an incident.
At the 2017 Best of Panama (BOP), Panama's international fair, this lot of Montaña Natural was sold for $601 per pound, the highest price in the world at the time.
This lot was born from Montagna, which became famous in this way. As expected from Esmeralda Farm, which is thoroughly managed, the data is also shown in detail.

In this way, Esmeralda Farm's coffee is not only high quality and has a rich flavor, but also the thorough management that ensures traceability and the thorough disclosure of detailed information, which makes Esmeralda Farm's coffee special. I'm making it into something.
Furthermore, this lot has a different harvest date from the first "Montanya 2SN".
It is said that the ripeness of coffee berries varies, and the flavor also varies.
In order to manage micro-lot production to such an extent that the lots are divided not only by harvest area but also by harvest date, extremely strict production process management is required.
However, Esmeralda Farm is a farm that has been working on lot separation since the beginning of growing Geisha , and its long experience has made it possible to manage micro lots to this extent.
Quality is a given, but it can be said that Esmeralda Farm has created a system to firmly support this quality.
