Known for extraordinary floral and fruit complexity. La Huella's Geisha is grown at 1,600-1,800m altitude. - **Catuai** — A high-yielding Arabica variety bred from Mundo Novo and Caturra. Produces a balanced, sweet cup with good body. La Huella's Catuai is grown on the same high-altitude Boquete farm. ## Processing Methods - **Natural (Dry Process)** — Coffee cherries are dried whole, allowing the fruit to ferment around the bean. Produces sweeter, fruitier, more complex flavors. - **Washed (Wet Process)** — Fruit is removed before drying. Produces cleaner, brighter cups that highlight the bean's inherent character. - **Black Honey** — A hybrid method where most of the mucilage (sticky fruit layer) is left on during drying. Produces enhanced sweetness and body. ## Awards & Recognition - **Great Taste Awards 2023** — Panama Geisha Natural received 1 star from the Guild of Fine Food (UK), one of the world's most trusted food and drink awards. - **SCA Slovenia** — La Huella is a sponsor and active member of the Specialty Coffee Association's Slovenian chapter, supporting the local specialty coffee community. - Products are evaluated and scored using SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) cupping protocols.
