If you are a coffee fan, you are no stranger to Geisha.

If you are new to the world of boutique coffee, you should learn about this legendary coffee variety.

Is it called geisha coffee (Geisha) from Japan? In fact, this kind of coffee has nothing to do with Japanese geisha culture, just because this coffee variety is originally called Gesha/Geisha, and its pronunciation is similar to that of Japanese geisha, so it is translated into geisha coffee. Taiwanese may call it Rose Summer Coffee.

Geisha, a wild coffee variety originally grown in southwestern Ethiopia, was brought to the coffee estate in Boquete district of Panama in 1963. Because of its poor yield and high tree species, it was planted next to the coffee farm as a windbreak.

2004 was a year that changed the fate of Geisha.

In that year, in order to participate in the national coffee competition, the son of the coffee farm searched all the coffee trees in the estate to test, only to find Geisha accidentally.

In the competition, Geisha won the championship with a strong and complex flavor, a blockbuster, one of which described it as God in a cup, and then won the championship for four consecutive years.

In the auction house, Geisha also broke many high price records.

Compared with the typical Panamanian coffee flavor, geisha's distinctive features are impressive, full of jasmine aromas, sour and sweet flavors of orange, lemon and honey, clean and soft on the palate.

Slightly sour but not bitter, full of flower and fruit aroma, no wonder some people describe it as coffee that does not look like coffee.
