72. The Discovery of Geisha and Legacy of Hacienda La Esmeralda | Daniel Peterson
Cole sits down with Daniel Peterson to pull back the curtain on a legacy that redefined specialty coffee. In a historic turn of events, Hacienda La Esmeralda accomplished what many thought impossible: a clean sweep of the podium at the 2025 Best of Panama, taking first place in the Geisha Washed, Geisha Natural, and Varietal categories.This conversation goes far beyond the awards. Daniel recounts the "accidental" survival of the Geisha variety during a devastating fungus outbreak in 1999, an event that paved the way for the 2004 discovery that shocked the industry. They discuss the "uncharted territory" of the $30,204 per kilo price point and what it actually feels like to produce a coffee that commands $1,000 per cup.FORWARD COFFEE Find access to a selection of top Panama Geisha and Varietals.
