Hacienda la Esmeralda
Birthplace of Panamanian Geisha
Operated by the Peterson family, Hacienda La Esmeralda is globally recognized for having unveiled the exceptional potential of Geisha, becoming an indispensable benchmark in the world of specialty coffee. Thanks to high altitudes, unique microclimates, and meticulous expertise, La Esmeralda produces lots of unparalleled purity and aromatic complexity. It is here that modern Geisha was born, a legendary coffee cultivated with precision and passion.
More specifically, in 2004, Hacienda La Esmeralda presented a 100% Geisha coffee for the first time in the Best of Panama competition. This high-altitude lot captivated judges with its floral aromas and vibrancy, closely resembling the profiles of Ethiopian coffees. The farm won the Best of Panama 2004 title, setting an auction price record.
The success didn't stop there. At the 2025 Best of Panama competition, Hacienda La Esmeralda won all three main categories (Geisha Washed, Geisha Natural, Varietals) with historic scores:
98.00 points for Washed Geisha (the highest score ever awarded)
97.00 points for Natural Geisha
They also received the Panama Cup, awarded to the best producer of the year.
