Ruben Viera is a rare Geisha from Boquete, Panama, grown at about 1600 MASL. It is processed by Creativa Coffee District using the Chilled Cherry Anaerobic Natural method, which includes chilling washed cherry to stabilize flavour, 95 hours anaerobic fermentation, about 293 hours slow drying, and a final resting period for bean stability.

Key Features

• Varietal: Geisha — a premium heritage varietal known for delicate and complex flavour profiles.
• Process: Chilled Cherry Anaerobic Natural.
• Altitude & terroir: 1600 MASL in Boquete’s volcanic soil and mist-cooled environment.
• Slow drying & rest: Extended process enhances sweetness and smoothness.

Tasting Performance

Expect a beautifully layered cup: floral and tropical fruit aromatics, green grape brightness, followed by apricot and cocoa mid-notes. The finish is smooth with sugar browning — not sharp, but refined. Great clarity when brewed via pour-over or V60 style.

Suggested Recipes

• V60 / Pour-Over: 15g coffee / 250g water @ 94°C, bloom 30s with ~40g, then pour in stages; total brew time ~2:45-3:00 min.
• Chemex: 25g / 400g water; larger bloom, slower pour to preserve aromatics.
• Cold Brew: Use coarser grind, steep 12-16 hours to draw out fruit sweetness gently.

Care & Storage

Store beans in a cool, dark place; grind fresh for each brew. Because of the delicate processing, use clean equipment, filtered water, and precise temperature control to avoid masking subtle notes.

Who Is It For?

Coffee connoisseurs who love refined, origin-driven single origins. Great for those who want something floral and delicate rather than bold. Ideal when you want to experience something special in your cup.
