Panama
La Esmeralda Diamond Mountain

Bolder with strong notes of chocolates and honey, well balanced with a pleasant acidity and floral hints, this Diamond Mountain estate coffee is the produce of Hacienda La Esmeralda, which is 100% catuai variety grown at an altitude of 1,600 to 1,800 meters above sea level on the El Velo farm located in the Boquete region of Panama. It is SHB (Strictly Hard Bean which specifies that the coffee is grown at an altitude above 1,350 meters) and EP (European Preparation which in turn specifies that the raw beans are all hand sorted to remove any defective beans and foreign material) grade natural processed coffee certified by the Rain Forest Alliance.

Diamond Mountain coffee is natural processed at Hacienda La Esmeralda that features drying of coffee cheeries on concrete patios for 3 to 5 days (8 hours per day). After cherries have reached sufficient dryness they are rotated into guardiola driers for 72 hours to round out the drying process and prevent fermentation.
