PANAMA
WASHED GEISHA
This exceptional washed Geisha comes from Yaneth at El Pergamino, a producer dedicated to precision and quality. Grown at 1800 meters in the Volcán region of Panama, this lot benefits from a cool, wind-swept slope with volcanic soil, creating the perfect conditions for clarity, structure, and complexity in the cup.
The cherries are carefully hand-picked at peak ripeness and processed with meticulous washed fermentation, allowing the coffee’s bright acidity and delicate floral notes to shine. Slow drying at 1920 meters in a well ventilated drying house ensures a clean and elegant profile, preserving the coffee’s vibrant tropical and floral characteristics.
This lot was reserved for the Czech Brewers Cup 2025, where Jackie used it to achieve the highest scores in both the semi-final and final rounds, proving its world class quality.

BALANCE
Balance isn’t just about what’s in the cup, it’s about how we approach coffee as a whole. It’s the harmony between sweetness, acidity, florals, and body, but also the connection between nature, sustainability, and brewing innovation.
This washed Geisha from El Pergamino is a perfect example of balance. It showcases a refined structure, where careful processing and terroir combine to create a cup that is both delicate and complex. But balance doesn’t stop with the coffee itself, it extends to the way we brew and how we engage with nature.
That’s why the SOLO Dripper is an essential part of this story. More than just a tool for precision, SOLO is designed with sustainability at its core. Made from heat-stable polypropylene and recycled coffee grounds, it transforms coffee waste into something purposeful, giving used coffee a second life.
