El Velo Geisha washed (Hacienda la Esmeralda) - Panama, The Picky Chemist | 125g

ultra light roast profile

Private Collection El Velo is is a mix of high performing Geisha washed microlots from Hacienda La Esmeralda’s El Velo Farm. Each microlot was washed and dried at Hacienda La Esmeralda’s mill in Palmira. The microlots that make up this mix were selected by Daniel and Rachel Peterson after many days of cupping.

The cup is intensely floral and perfumed, with jasmine and lavender leading the profile and a creamy floral sweetness that can read as candied sugar or soft dairy notes. Bright mandarin and ripe stone‑fruit bring juicy lift, while delicate violet accents add refinement. The mouthfeel is silky and sweet, with a long, fragrant finish that lingers on floral sugar and citrus fruit.

In filter this Geisha reveals ethereal floral clarity and tea‑like elegance; as an espresso it becomes more concentrated and creamy, showing jasmine‑cream and candied sugar highlights while remaining bright and refined.
