Panamanian Coffee-Geisha from Ethiopia?

Geisha varieties mainly come from the Kafa forest, known as the treasure house of coffee genes, the exact location is Gesha Moutain in southwestern Ethiopia, close to the border with Sudan, up to 1700-2100 meters above sea level. But what is puzzling is why Ethiopia did not keep such high-quality coffee and gave it to Panama.

In fact, there are descriptions of geisha in the official archives of Ethiopia. At that time, geisha were found to be extremely disease-resistant and could be used to "mix" with other coffee trees to enhance the disease resistance of other coffee trees. however, the flavor is not described, and the production capacity is not good, so it has been completely lost for a long time, and it has not been discovered until recently, so some people speculate about the change of the flavor of geisha. Is it because of the soil and water environment in Panama that the flavor of geisha has greatly increased? But it remains to be confirmed.

The Panamanian geisha happens to have the same name as the Japanese geisha.

The discovery place of geisha-- Jhala Miyou Manor

In 1996, because the Peterson family is optimistic about the landscape environment and coffee quality of the Jalami Manor, so they bought the manor!

The coffee at Jalami Manor tastes very different from Panamanian coffee, with a hint of orange, flowers and fruits, but the Peterson family has not been sure which coffee tree breeds this flavor. therefore, the Peterson family tested the coffee trees in the manor one by one and found that the coffee tree used by the previous owner as a windbreak tree was actually a coffee tree with a unique flavor. So immediately put the coffee in the area independent, participate in the 2004 cup test, really a blockbuster, but also let everyone know geisha coffee!
