Flores Blancas
Cascara liqueur from Panama Geisha coffee.
750 ml · 32% abv
Cascara liqueur from Panama Geisha coffee. 2022 harvest, originating at Los Lajones Estate.
Cascara is another coffee product. It is the dried fruit that wraps the bean: what is left once the coffee has come out. It is not roasted coffee and tastes nothing like it, so this is not a coffee liqueur either —what is fermented here is the fruit, not the seed.
That coffee comes from Graciano Cruz, at HIU Farms, in Boquete. A Geisha whose harvest was sold as green beans; this is the part that normally gets thrown away.
The name comes from the bloom: the white flowers of the coffee tree, which appear before the fruit whose husk is fermented here.
750 ml, 32% abv.

Tasting note
Fruity, floral and elegant, with notes of dried cherry, hibiscus and honey. Lively acidity, a long finish recalling citrus and dark fruit.

ProjectCoffee Research & Processing
Working alongside coffee producers to understand what happens between the farm and the cup — designing and documenting processing trials, fermentation, drying, sensory evaluation and the systems needed to make the results reproducible.
