Mi Finquita, which means "my small farm", is located around the town of Los Pozosand was established as a way for Ratibor and Tessie to further develop the specialty coffee sector in Chiriqui. Applying science, tradition, and innovative processing techniques, as well as their acquired skills and knowledge from running the famous Finca Hartmann, Mi Finquita thrives on Ratibor’s spirit of experimentation and invention. Coffees from Mi Finquita are processed in small lots – each lot will typically only yield about 45kg of green coffee – allowing for frequent tweaks and improvements to the processing. This traditionally processed Washed Geisha is super floral, with lots of vibrant citrus. A Classic Panamanian Geisha.

The coffee cherry was anaerobically fermented in a 115L Bordeaux glass wineglobe for 30 hours. Afterwards it was washed, then it was placed on raised beds for four days. After the initial drying the coffee was dried in the cushy confines of the darkroom. This method of dehydrating the coffee has become the gold standard in Panama.

So why the wineglobe? Well, Ratibor likes a few things about it. First, it’s completely inert and impermeable - which creates a consistent fermentation environment from batch to batch. This allows the coffee to preserve the terroir expression rather than byproducts of inconsistent fermentations. The shape naturally reduces headspace, allowing for a true anaerobic environment.

Finally, and this gets a bit geeky, the wineglobe shape helps prevent reductive faults (i.e. sulfur like aromas) without oxygen input. The shape promotes the subtle movement of the coffee (through temperate changes) which helps promote microbial liveliness without spoilage (i.e. reductive byproducts). This is why many coffee producers often “burp” their tanks to remove some CO2 and slightly move the coffee. In the case of the wineglobe, this happens naturally.

RECOMMENDED Suitable for Filter brewing methods and French press.
