That genuine leap of faith has certainly paid off, due in large part to Jamison's relentless pursuit of excellence and insistence on innovation. Since 2016, coffees from Finca Deborah have featured prominently on the World Barista stage, with all three of the top spots last year going to competitors who used one of Jamison's coffees. Today, Jamison is considered one of the most prolific coffee producers in the world—and one sip of this uniquely processed Gesha lot will likely have you nodding your head in quiet agreement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinca Deborah sits at 1900 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest altitude farms in the Volcán region of Panama. The Gesha trees grown here seamlessly integrate into the surrounding cloud forest. The ecosystem has a consistently high humidity while temperatures at night can cool dramatically. These lower temperatures slow the maturation of the coffee cherry and drive more sugars out of the tree and into the cherry, making for a more complex and sweet cup. The farming operation coexists with this ecosystem by avoiding the use of pesticides or other chemicals that could interrupt the diverse and often rare wildlife that call the area home. Additionally, all picking is done by hand and the processing operation is powered by on-site solar energy production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUST THE PROCESS |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter being handpicked at peak ripeness (21–24 degrees Brix), whole coffee cherries are hand-sorted for quality before being placed inside hermetically sealed tanks alongside a proprietary yeast strain. Once sealed inside, the coffee undergoes 100 hours of tightly supervised fermentation. Temperature and pH are both monitored regularly during this time. Finally, the cherries are spread out to dry on African raised beds in a climate-controlled drying house, where they are regularly agitated to ensure even drying. Processing is complete once the coffee reaches 11% moisture content, which takes approximately 20 days. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAKE A SIP |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehot, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethis coffee is turned all the way up to eleven: it’s intense, complex, and very proud of its fermentation’s impact. Floral like hibiscus and punchy like cocoa nibs, the cup sips like orange wine or a sour beer at this temperature. Stone fruit and berries, like blackberries, shine. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs the coffee approaches a pleasantly \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewarm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etemperature, it becomes notably cleaner and more vibrant. Blackberry perseveres as citrus notes, like lime and orange zest, begin to ramp up the acidity.
