Geisha coffee trees at the top of Jaramillo Estate thrive in Boquete, Panama, where the cooling bajareque mist slows cherry development under the tropical sun. This light roast, natural process coffee offers tasting notes of passion fruit, blueberry, and sugar cane, capturing the unique terroir of the region. Nadeia Guerra Suarez, owner of Jaramillo Estate, waits for the deep red ripeness of each cherry before drying them on raised beds by the Rio Cochea at Beneficios de Cafe de Boquete.

This comes in a whole bean 8oz bag

Geisha will be roasted and packaged on 11/8. 

Unveiling Excellence: Geisha by Jaramillo Estate Limited Release

MEET NADEÍA GUERRA SUAREZ.

Hortigal & Jaramillo Estates, led by Nadeía Guerra Suarez, carry a rich heritage in Boquete, Panama. Her great-grandfather first settled in the region in the late 1800s, cultivating various crops until her grandfather, Vidal, focused exclusively on coffee in the 1940s. Vidal's vision expanded the family business into multiple farms, each with unique terroirs, eventually acquiring Hortigal Estate in the 1990s, a foundation for today’s thriving coffee operation.

Since 2017, Nadeía has co-owned and managed the estates with her mother, Eira Maria, and sisters Carmen and Lourdes. Nadeía’s leadership focuses on refining production and quality, drawing from the experience of her uncle Norberto and manager Medardo. Together, they actively oversee the fields, nurturing both the Caturra and Geisha coffee varieties with dedication to excellence.

gROW TOGETHER

Our Geisha release is a part of our Grow Together initiative – special coffees sourced from farms around the world that share our passion for crafting a stronger, more sustainable coffee industry through authentic relationships and memorable experiences. 

Discovery at Hortigal Estate

In 2019, our journey led us to the discovery of Nadeia’s Hortigal Estate as we sought a new Panamanian coffee to introduce—the first since our founder, Winfield Durham, offered Panama Red years ago. The standout crispness and potential on the table prompted us to make our inaugural purchase that year. Subsequently, Nadeía reached out to co-owner Jesse Durham and Director of Coffee Sourcing & Quality Khristian Yurchak. This connection led to a visit to Nadeía's estate in Boquete the following March

Shared Roots and Entrepreneurial Synergy

After that visit, a profound connection with Nadeía and a remarkable synergy with her entrepreneurial journey unfolded. Her story, navigating an uncharted path, resonated deeply with us, reminiscent of Sisters Coffee’s own bootstrap origins when we started roasting coffee in a wooden shack back in 1989. The trip created a strong bond and a shared appreciation for the challenges and triumphs faced by young entrepreneurs like Nadeía and ourselves

Culmination in Geisha: A Growing Partnership

Aligned with Nadeia’s vision and deeply impressed by the quality of her coffee and ethical operations, we were committed to nurturing and expanding our relationship. The culmination of this growth is our Geisha release, representing years of collaboration that has brought us closer and enriched all our lives in countless ways. This coffee is not just a product; it's a testament to the enduring partnership that has flourished over time

The Location
BOQUETE, PANAMA. A COFFEE LOVER’S PARADISE

Volcan Barú, towering over northwest Panama, surpasses the height of Central Oregon's Three Sisters. Cloaked in jungle and draped in unique mist known as bajareque, Barú experiences a distinct climate formed by the collision of ocean air from the Pacific and Atlantic over its ridges. Boquete, nestled on Barú's eastern flank, boasts a perfect climate, earning the region the moniker "Valley of the Moon." This area's exceptional terroir, shaped by cooler temperatures and volcanic mists, provides an ideal environment for high-quality coffee, notably slowing the maturation of Geisha coffee cherries. Perched on the misty green slopes of Volcan Barú, Hortigal & Jaramillo Estates, overseen by Nadeia Guerra Suarez, embody this extraordinary setting above the town of Boquete
