Lost Origin (Helio Gazer)

Just when you thought we hit the apex in specialty coffee with Panama Geisha, the Lost Origin lab releases a Panama Geisha imbued with Helio Gazer—a special yeast strain that supercharges the beans with all the wondrous fruit notes normally associated with a crisp IPA. In collaboration with young gun producer Juan Luis Chevas (of Chevas Coffee Estate fame), the lab inoculates the geisha and ferments it in fresh-pressed cascara prior to washed processing. The end result is a stellar cup that’s beaming with notes of nectarine, sugarcane, and green grape.

ABOUT LOST ORIGIN

Brought to you by STITCH COFFEE, our Lost Origin limited releases proffer a return to the pursuit of excellent coffee. We’ve partnered with the Lost Origin coffee lab in Panama City to bring home a batch of beans quite like no other.

Their team of methodology-minded brew techs take traditionally-harvested beans and ferment them with special microorganisms (a process inspired by craft brewery practices) to create brand new coffees bursting with riveting flavour. It’s a breakthrough for the world of coffee processing, and your palate too.
