From the producer

Heakyung Kang Burneskis is the Korean American owner and operator of Hacienda Don Julian. She co-founded the estate with her husband, Dr. Richard D. Burneskis, and continued their conservation-focused vision after his death in 2004.

From the roaster

Klatch identifies this as a limited Pearl Reserve medium-light natural Geisha, offered as a 170 g roasted-to-order release.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A fully traceable natural Geisha from a 41-hectare conservation-focused Boquete estate, using an unusually long two-stage drying program.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Hand pick

Cherries are picked carefully so the lot begins with properly ripe fruit.

02
Raised-bed drying

Whole cherries first dry for several days on raised African beds with airflow around the fruit.

03
Slow greenhouse finish

The coffee then dries gradually for about two months in shaded greenhouses; each bed is labeled for lot traceability.

What was added?

No fruit, spice, culture or other flavoring ingredient is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No co-fermentation or post-roast flavoring is reported.

Why it matters

The extended, shaded finish promotes even moisture loss while preserving delicate aromatics and sweetness.

What you might taste

Black currant, ripe papaya, rose, bright acidity and a delicate tea-like body.
