Geisha geisha from some small farms attract the attention of coffee fans all over the world with their unique floral fragrance. Panamanian coffee has a strong floral aroma and clean fruit aroma. The cup test quality is far higher than that of other coffee. The flavor is amazing and the quality is stable. Small farms in the Boquete Pokuit region of Chirqui district Ricki province do produce distinctive coffee cherries. During the harvest season, the farm employs the local natives of Nobebugre Indians, and is employed at the most reasonable wage in accordance with Central American labor laws.

These two estates are on both sides of the mausoleum line in the volcanic area, with great changes in microclimate and different flavor of coffee. During harvest, only the best 100% fully ripe cherries are harvested, and the coffee is removed in special buckets according to different sizes and grades.
