In the world of coffee, there are moments that transcend mere taste, where the experience is so novel, so exquisite, that it defies description. One such moment occurred for us at Finca Deborah, where we had the privilege of cupping coffee for the first time. It was a revelation, an encounter with the extraordinary, and at the heart of it all was Jamison Savage.
Jamison is not your average coffee farmer. Hailing from New York, he traded in the fast-paced world of finance for the lush jungles of Panama. Settling in Volcan, a rugged town at the base of the mighty Volcan Baru, Jamison embarked on a journey that would see him become one of the most innovative figures in the coffee industry.
At the heart of Jamison's endeavors lies Finca Deborah, his labor of love nestled amidst dense forests. Here, we have cultivated not just coffee, but an unparalleled dedication to quality. The farm is a testament to his commitment to excellence, producing competition-level coffees that have captivated the palates of coffee aficionados around the world.
But it's not just about quality for Jamison; it's about pushing the boundaries of what coffee can be. Through meticulous experimentation and a keen understanding of process, Jamison has become a pioneer in the realm of experimental Carbonic Maceration Geishas. By marrying the queen of coffee varieties with innovative wine processing techniques, he has created coffees that defy convention and astonish the senses.
One such creation is the Symbiosis Anaerobic Natural Geisha, a coffee that exemplifies Jamison's dedication to craft. Here, cherries are deprived of oxygen in sealed tanks, creating a CO2-rich environment that imbues the beans with unparalleled flavor. It's a testament to Jamison's ingenuity and relentless pursuit of perfection.
But perhaps what sets Jamison apart is his boundless energy and unwavering vision. He brings the hustle of New York to the serene landscapes of Panama, blending the two worlds seamlessly to create something truly remarkable. His coffees, sought after throughout Asia and beyond, are not just beverages; they are experiences unto themselves.
For those fortunate enough to sample Jamison's creations, it's a journey into uncharted territory, where the familiar is reimagined and the extraordinary becomes commonplace. With each sip, you're transported to a realm where innovation knows no bounds, and the pursuit of excellence is never-ending.
So here's to Jamison Savage, a maverick whose passion and vision have forever changed the landscape of specialty coffee. From the rugged jungles of Panama to the bustling streets of New York, his legacy will endure, inspiring generations of coffee lovers to come.
