Hacienda La Esmeralda - SL34
Hacienda La Esmeralda - SL34
Natural · Cañas Verdes, Panama
This is our first lot from Hacienda La Esmeralda: a Cañas Verdes SL-34 natural chosen for its bright fruit, clear structure, and tea-like finish.
After harvest, the cherries were pre-dried on raised beds, then held in a cold anaerobic tank before a long, climate-controlled drying phase. The process keeps the profile clean, juicy, and well defined.
In the cup, expect cherry, jasmine tea, and honey, with a silky mouthfeel and a long, clean finish.

Flavour Profile
Flavour Profile
The shape of the cup, before the flavour notes.
These six scales describe how this coffee presents in the cup — its structure, not its quality. Each position is descriptive, not a score.
Filter and espresso are profiled separately. The profile reflects how the coffee is intended to be brewed.
Perceived sweetness — not sugar. Restrained cups read clean and structured; pronounced cups taste riper and more generous.
Brightness and lift — not sourness. Soft acidity feels gentle and rounded; vibrant acidity has the sparkle of citrus or fresh fruit.
Texture and weight in the mouth — not strength. Tea-like coffees feel light, clean and refined; syrupy coffees feel denser, creamier and more coating.
How strongly the process shapes the taste. Traditional lets the origin speak plainly; expressive adds ferment-led character you can taste in the cup.
How long the flavour stays after the sip. Short finishes end cleanly and reset the palate; long finishes keep evolving after you swallow.
The intensity of the fragrance. Delicate aromatics sit quietly in the cup; strong aromatics reach you before the first sip.
