What Makes Chiriquí Coffee Special?
Chiriquí's high, cool slopes around the Barú Volcano give cherries a long, slow ripening. 12 of the 15 Chiriquí coffees in our catalog are Gesha (or Geisha). 4 are washed and 11 are natural or anaerobic, so you can compare clean, tea-like cups with fruit-bomb ferments from the same province.
