This washed Panama Geisha is elegant and beautiful. We find notes of citrus fruit, flowers and lemongrass in particular as well as a pleasant, berry-like acidity. To us, this coffee is a great representation of a washed Panama Geisha.

Having visited the farm in 2022, we finally made it work and added one of their beautiful Geisha lots to our coffee offer as a limited edition release.

Don Benjie

Farm: Café Don Benjie
Producer: Stefan Arwed Müller
Purchasing relationship: 1 years
Region: Los Naranjos, Chiriquí, Panama
Altitude: 1400-1550 masl, 8.8°N

We visited Don Benjie farm in early 2022 and were shown around the beautiful, hilly 30 hectares of farm area by farm manager Emilio, who also lives on the farm. Don Benjie offers housing for around 15 people, who make up the permanent staff at the farm. To enjoy their time off, they built a football pitch for the employees on the farm. During the harvest, there are around four times as many people working there to ensure the ripe coffee cherries are picked in time.

After our visit in 2022, we weren't immediately able to buy their coffee. Two years later, things aligned well, samples tasted amazing, and we managed to secure this lot before they sold out. Read more about our visit in 2022 in our blog section.

With its beautiful coffees, the farm has been ranking high in the Best of Panama competition again and again and even won 3rd place in 2020.
