What Fat Cat Coffee Roasters say
El Salvador 150g Tin
Discover the elegance of La Pacaya Geisha, grown by producer Miguel Angel Villavicencio high in El Salvador's Cordillera llamatepec mountains. After tasting Panamanian Geisha for the first time in 2013, MAV travelled to Boquete to acquire seeds from Francisco Serracin Jr., whose father introduced the variety to Panama. The search for the perfect farm led to this magical property at 1,800 metres - an old pacaya farm with lush primary forests, foggy evening breezes, and potently nutritious volcanic soil.
This exceptional lot claimed #1 in the naturals category at the 2025 Cup of Excellence. Only cherries scoring 25° on the Brix scale are handpicked at peak ripeness, carefully dried on African raised beds with precise temperature monitoring for 25 days. The result is an award-winning cup bursting with tropical fruit with layered notes of nectarine, mango and papaya.
