From the producer

Finca Bernardina is managed by Félix Aguilar alongside his father. The farm is in Santa Clara, Renacimiento, Chiriquí, and includes protected and secondary forest plus coffee, fruit and timber plantings near Parque Internacional La Amistad.

From the roaster

We've visited and cupped at Finca Bernardina since 2023, and we're proud to be among the first to bring this outstanding coffee to Canada. The cherries were harvested at optimal ripeness, sorted manually and by flotation, then slow-dried.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A plot- and lot-specific Panamanian Gesha with unusually complete post-harvest disclosure: cherry selection, 36-day sun drying, drying surfaces, and the final low-temperature homogenization step are all published.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Select cherry

Cherries were harvested at optimal ripeness and sorted manually and by flotation.

02
Sun dry

Whole cherry dried for 36 days on African beds and bastidores.

03
Homogenize

A static dryer ran for a few hours at 40°C to equalize the lot.

04
Identity correction

The producer surname was corrected from the roaster's 'Aguila' spelling to Félix Aguilar, as documented by the Specialty Coffee Association of Panama and other farm references.

What was added?

Reverified the 2025 lot, Finca Bernardina, Gesha, Natural process, 1,500 m, CA$36/100 g offer and sold-out status.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, spice, flavoring, inoculant or separate fermentation stage is disclosed. A third-party 360 g/CA$26 catalog scrape was excluded because it conflicts with the exact 100 g roaster archive.

Why it matters

Slow whole-cherry drying can intensify fruit expression, while the brief controlled finish helps equalize moisture; the exact page does not support a more specific fermentation claim.

What you might taste

Rogue Wave lists pineapple, hibiscus, honey, guava, peach and raspberry.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-31) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Exact-name results from Beanwired, Cherrybook, Beanbook and other catalog pages reproduce listing data rather than authored tastings. One reseller scrape conflicts on package size and includes unrelated copy. Cherrybook's CBI is an evidence-coverage index and its Reddit signal concerns Rogue Wave generally. Other Bernardina lots and processes were excluded.
