Guatemala Santa Clara Panama Gesha (022)

This Panama Gesha microlot comes from Santa Clara Estate, a farm owned and managed by Ricardo Zelaya. The influential Zelaya family has been growing coffee in Antigua for more than 100 years. This renowned family owns several farms in the region, and over the last century they have worked tirelessly to uphold, refine, and elevate the reputation of Antigua, one of the Guatemala's most celebrated and loved coffee regions. 

Every Cherry at Santa Clara is selectively hand-picked and sorted before being inspected and approved by the foreman at the wet mill. The farm also hires around 50 'special pickers' who have demonstrated particular dexterity and are selected to hand-harvest some of the farm's micro-lots using their impressive attention to detail. These employees can receive more than double the minimum daily wage by picking coffee at this farm. According to Ricardo, although they are very demanding about picking practices, the majority of the seasonal workers come back year after year, which is a testament to their fair conditions and pay they receive.
