Panamanian coffee-geisha from Ethiopia?

Geisha species are mainly derived from the Kafa forest known as the coffee gene treasure house, the exact location is Gesha Moutain in southwestern Ethiopia, close to the Sudanese border, with an altitude of 1700 - 2100 meters. But it is puzzling why Ethiopia did not keep such high-quality coffee and gave it to Panama instead.

In fact, there are descriptions of geisha in Ethiopia's official archives. At that time, geisha were found to be extremely resistant to disease and could be used to "interbreed" with other coffee trees to improve the disease resistance of other coffee trees. However, the flavor was not described much, and the productivity was not good. Therefore, there was no news for a long time. Until recently, it was discovered by the world. Therefore, some people speculated that the change of geisha flavor was caused by Panama's water and soil environment. However, it has yet to be confirmed.

The Discovery Place of Geisha--Jaramie You Manor

When it comes to Jaramie Manor, you have to talk about the Peterson family first. The Peterson family actually owned the manor at the beginning, which is now familiar to many people as "Emerald Manor". In 1996, because the Peterson family was optimistic about the landscape environment and coffee quality of Jaramie Manor, they bought this manor!

The coffee in Jaramie Manor tastes very different from Panama coffee. It has a faint orange fragrance and flower fragrance. However, the Peterson family has not been sure which coffee tree species creates this flavor. Therefore, the Peterson family tested the coffee trees in the manor one by one, and found that the coffee trees used by the former owner as windbreaks actually have unique flavor coffee trees. Therefore, they immediately separated the coffee in this area and participated in the 2004 cup test competition. It was indeed a blockbuster and also let everyone know about Geisha Coffee!

Panama Fine Coffee Location and Variety

Panama's fine coffee production is concentrated in Chiriquí province on the west side of the country, while Boquete region in Chiriquí province is the oldest and most famous production area of Panamanian coffee. Jaramiya Manor and Emerald Manor are also not here. There are not only fertile volcanic rocks, but also mist, so that the temperature is not too high and the annual rainfall is abundant. It is the favorite growing environment for Arabica coffee trees. No wonder the coffee quality is so good!
