Nguisse processes coffees that most of the coffee elites want to brew. It's not Panamanian Geisha, but it may as well be. Complex and refined, you'll see coffees from him on the best roasters' menus, & when you do, you should definitely try and snag some. A little about Nguisse Nare... Nguisse Nare farms at 2,300 meters in Bombe, where his 10-hectare Setame farm is planted primarily to 74158 and intercropped with taro and sweet potato. He also manages additional farms in Kokose and Tiburo, with cherry coming both from his own land and from roughly 60 neighboring growers. Purchased in 2021 with quality in mind, Setame now functions as both farm and drying station, producing natural and anaerobic lots. Post-harvest is overseen by Industry Manager Demisse Turuma, while farm manager Thomas Tosha handles day-to-day operations on the ground. At the station, cherry is floated before being dried slowly on raised beds for around 20 days.
