The story

Festival de la Cereza del Cafe Geisha in Boquete/Renacimiento

Festival de la Cereza del Café Geisha celebrates the coffee cherry harvest of Geisha, the aromatic variety that made the Boquete and Renacimiento highlands of Chiriquí internationally famous among specialty coffee buyers. The festival lets visitors see cherry-picking, processing, and cupping firsthand on the farms responsible for that reputation.

Geisha, sometimes spelled Gesha, is a coffee variety that traces its origin to forests in southern Ethiopia, the same region where Coffea arabica grows wild, but it owes its modern fame to Panama.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Panamanian Geisha coffee, first planted in the country's highlands in the 1960s after arriving originally from Ethiopia by way of Costa Rica, found unusually favorable growing conditions on the volcanic slopes of Barú and began winning international cupping competitions in the 2000s

02

The mystery stays covered

Lots from farms in the Boquete and Renacimiento districts now regularly sell at some of the highest auction prices of any coffee in the world, and a festival built specifically around the cherry harvest, rather than the finished roasted product, gives visitors access to the agricultural side of that reputation that most coffee tourism skips
