Panama Esmeralda Gesha: 08 lot is superior to 09. We have every 08 lot (not for sale). The conditions for growing the 08 were stellar. I have ever 09 lot.

'09 lots suffered thru terrible weather conditions which ended up in low stellar quality output. End result? get to 08 Esmeralda if you can. Of course you cannot answer that question if you're a reseller...LOL

I guess this means I will be tight lipped about where I am getting the 08 from . The 09 is still very good but not $40 a pound good, I would still pick it up at $20 though .

If you had to pick a bean or two from your stock this year that stands out in particular what would it be?
