Hacienda Esmeralda's Private Reserve – an exceptional coffee that brings the exclusivity of world-famous Esmeralda Special within reach. Grown in the prestigious Jaramillo plot at elevations between 1,450 and 1,800 meters, this coffee captures the essence of what makes Geisha one of the world's most sought-after varieties.

This Gesha from Jaramillo offers nearly identical qualities to its auction-only siblings. While the top Esmeralda Special lots fetch over thousands of dollars per pound at these exclusive international auctions, this Private Reserve selection delivers the same signature jasmine florals and bright, lemony notes that have made Esmeralda famous.

The Jaramillo plot, often the source of Esmeralda's winning auction lots, provides the perfect terroir for developing the Gesha varietal's prized characteristics. Each harvest is meticulously managed to ensure these beans meet the exacting standards that have earned Hacienda Esmeralda its legendary status in the coffee world.

Sourced from the same pristine growing conditions that produce the auction lots, this Private Reserve represents a rare opportunity to experience one of coffee's crown jewels. With extremely limited availability and meticulous attention to quality, this coffee stands as a testament to Hacienda Esmeralda's uncompromising standards – offering an extraordinary cup that showcases the full potential of the legendary Gesha varietal at a more accessible price point while maintaining its exceptional character.
