About This Coffee

Aguila 5 NC is a rare micro-lot produced at the legendary Hacienda La Esmeralda’s El Velo Farm, the birthplace of the world’s most celebrated Geisha coffees.

In 2025, Hacienda La Esmeralda achieved historic results at the Best of Panama, taking top scores across multiple categories — further solidifying their position as one of the finest coffee producers in the world.
While this particular lot is not the competition-winning lot, it is grown and processed at the same farm, with the same standards, same expertise, and the same meticulous attention to quality.

This year’s Aguila 5 NC expresses the hallmark clarity, florals, and sweetness Esmeralda is known for.

Roasting at Gabee Coffee

To honor this exceptional coffee, we roast in ultra-small batches of just 1 kg at a time.
This approach ensures absolute consistency, superb thermal control, and maximized expression of the Geisha’s delicate aromatics.

After roasting, each batch undergoes manual hand-sorting.
Every roasted gram passes through an additional quality check so that only the cleanest, flawless beans make it into the final package.

This is the same QC process we apply for competition coffees and special cupping releases.
