Panama Abu Geisha Natural Lot GN-25


Our first offering this season of Abu's exciting Geisha Natural.  The green, unroasted coffee arrived to us in the Fall in vacuum packed boxes via airfreight direct from Panama. We have but a small quantity of this lovely Natural processed Geisha lot from Jose Luttrell's Abu Coffee Plantation, which is a rising star in the stellar universe of Panama's high end coffee scene. Panama is the Geisha capital of the coffee world today with buyers flocking there from all over the world. Geisha coffees from this area fetch extraordinary prices, often into the hundreds of dollars per pound - and up. Our deep relationships with growers there provides access to gems like this. Last year this same coffee earned us 95 points on Coffee Review. Through our Direct Trade relationship with the producer we have access to select individual lots.  Abu is beginning to command some of the lofty price levels of some of their esteemed neighbors (think Hacienda Esmeralda, Elida Estate, et al) and for good reason. Abu's coffee is getting better each year and in 2021 they placed in the top 10 in both Washed and Natural categories at the Best of Panama. Aromas of vanilla and fresh bread. Citrusy, very floral, sweet and well structured. A mouthful of floral and fruit filled flavors.

Letter to New Haven Register Sept 12, 2013. "Businesses can learn from Willoughby's". It gives me great pleasure to know that a quality local business of which I have been a longtime supporter is as good as - if not better than - I thought it was......

Adam - Afghanistan
I'm now a senior Navy officer serving in Afghanistan. Many of my friends are sending me Willoughby's coffee in care packages, and it is the biggest morale boost we get here! All the guys in my unit are now hooked. Just thought you might like to know that you have a following here in Afghanistan!......
