Lycello is one of the most distinctive coffees from the Ninety Plus Coffee collection, crafted on their exclusive estates in Panama. This premium Gesha variety offers an exceptionally complex and rich flavor profile, with dominant fruity notes reminiscent of lychee, citrus, and honey, while subtle floral undertones provide an elegant finish.
Ninety Plus Coffee is an innovative producer of specialty coffee, known for its commitment to quality, environmental sustainability, and pioneering processing methods. The company was founded in 2006 by Joseph Brodsky with a vision to redefine industry standards through experimentation with fermentation, terroirs, and cultivation methods.
Ninety Plus Coffee began its journey in Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, where new approaches to coffee cultivation and processing were developed. Shortly after, the company expanded its plantations to Panama, recognizing the exceptional conditions for growing premium Arabica coffee.
Its two leading farms, Gesha Estates and Barú Estates, are situated on rich volcanic soil and surrounded by biodiversity that enables organic coffee growth in the shade of natural forests. Their Gesha variety is particularly significant, recognized as one of the best coffees in the world.
