Geisha coffee beans have an extraordinary legend. It turns out that this kind of coffee bean originated in southwestern Ethiopia. In 1963, geisha coffee was introduced from Costa rica to Panama by Don Pachi Serracin. Because the yield is not high, it directly affects the harvest, and coffee farmers are not willing to grow it. It wasn't until Daniel Peterson, the owner of the Panama La Esmeralda in Panama, accidentally discovered that at the top of his coffee farm, the coffee beans produced by these geisha coffee trees, which used to be used as a windbreak, had the citrus and floral aroma peculiar to African beans.

Since then, kabou has been unstoppable and has won the Panamanian coffee cup test competition for many years. In the eyes of boutique coffee lovers all over the world, geisha coffee beans are undoubtedly the supreme treasure.

Geisha, originally a wild coffee variety growing in southwestern Ethiopia, was brought to a coffee estate in the Bork 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 a geisha.

In that year, the son of the coffee farm searched the coffee trees in the estate for testing in order to participate in the national coffee competition, but accidentally found a geisha.

In the competition, Geisha won the championship with a strong and complex flavor, with one of the judges describing it as the Cup of God, and then winning the title 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, with sour and sweet notes 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.
