Bernardina

Bernardina is a distinct variety first identified in Panama and now cultivated by a handful of growers across Central America, including in El Salvador. It is valued for an aromatic, delicate cup that echoes the floral intensity and tea-like clarity associated with Geisha. Yields are modest and the plant remains uncommon, so lots tend to appear as small single-farm offerings. When carefully processed it delivers jasmine, citrus and a silky, layered sweetness.
