Hachi - Noa (乃愛) · Gesha

In the roaster’s words

Lot data: Gesha • 2,000–2,200 m.a.s.l. • Inverted Process • Jurutungo, Chiriquí, Panama • Cup Score: 91.5 This is our first coffee from Hachi Project: Noa Gesha, a high-elevation lot from Jurutungo chosen for its purity, floral lift, and striking transparency. What stood out immediately was how clean and non-processed it tasted, despite the complexity of the method behind it. In Hachi’s Inverted Process, whole cherries are first submerged in a tailored culture medium before pulping, washing, and drying in dark, low-oxygen chambers. The result is a cup that stays light, precise, and expressive, with added aromatic detail but very little process weight. In the cup, expect lemon, grape, cane sugar, and white tea, with a crystalline texture and bright, clean acidity. The finish is long, delicate, and quietly floral.
