In 2004, they revolutionized the industry by discovering the Geisha varietal, propelling Hacienda La Esmeralda onto the global specialty coffee stage. Twenty years after that inaugural triumph, they have once again made history by securing the top three positions at the Best of Panama 2025—an unprecedented achievement that reaffirms their leadership, passion, and unwavering commitment to excellence.

Coffee Story:	Highest-Scoring Geisha Natural in Best of Panama History – 97 Points Grown at 2,050 masl on the slopes of Cañas Verdes, Nido is surrounded by lush forest and named after the quetzal nests that have existed there for decades. This lot was harvested on April 7, 2025, and processed as a natural with climate-controlled drying. The region has been part of Hacienda La Esmeralda since the farm’s founding in 1967. Initially used for growing potatoes and lettuce, the area proved too remote and elevated for vegetable farming. It was later converted into pasture for Charolaise cattle, and finally into coffee production in 2007 following the Geisha boom. Now in its 13th year of coffee cultivation, Nido produces some of the finest coffees from Hacienda La Esmeralda.

Coffee Story:	Highest-Scoring Geisha Washed in Best of Panama History – 98 Points Also from the Nido region in Cañas Verdes at 2,050 masl, this lot shares the same forested landscape and quetzal-nest heritage. Harvested on April 7, 2025, it underwent a 48-hour cold-temperature fermentation followed by climate-controlled drying. Like its natural counterpart, this land transitioned from highland vegetable farming to cattle pasture, and then to coffee in 2007. Now in its 13th year under coffee, the region continues to deliver some of Hacienda La Esmeralda’s most remarkable lots.
