Coffee Origins
Abu Estate sits on the slopes of Volcan Baru peaking at 1900masl and is led by third generation coffee producer Jose Guillermo Luttrell Tedman, a qualified civil engineer. Abu prides itself on not being “a normal coffee farm”, but rather a lab-style production facility with a focus on experimentation and excellence. It is widely regarded as one of the leaders in modern, competition style Geisha cultivation and processing. Dedicated to experimentation and delivering consistent, repeatable profiles of the highest caliber, Abu has had success in the Best of Panama competition dating back to 2017.
The team on Abu estate harvest by hand and carefully sort the cherries, selecting only the best for further processing. Our coffee undergoes 24hrs of in-cherry fermentation before being pulped and fermented for a further 72 hours in sealed fermentation tanks. After fermentation has concluded, the coffee is fully washed using mountain spring water, removing all traces of mucilage, and then dried on raised beds, aiding in the consistency of the drying that takes place. The fermentation elevates the sweetness of this incredible lot, while still maintaining that clean, floral and complex profile that washed Panamanian Geisha is famous for. In this cup, we taste green apple acidity, complimented by white grape sweetness and florality that gives way to delicate jasmine florals in the finish, a classic washed Panamanian Geisha of the highest calibre. Nothing fancy, just excellence.

FAQs
Single origins: Our roast style and green coffee preference suits both filter and espresso very well.
Each coffee with present different characteristics you may prefer through a specific brew method.
For example Dario loves washed Kenyan’s through the AeroPress, but they taste great as espresso and through the V60.
Blends: Designed with espresso in mind but Dreamer tastes great in the plunger. It’s all down to personal preference!
