Geisha is the most legendary variety in the coffee industry. Pinyin Geisha has caused great controversy among coffee people in Europe and the United States. Translated as "Gai Sha" and "Guisha", there are a lot of people, which is the same as Japanese literature and art, and has nothing to do with it but is interesting.

Speaking of the legend of "Geisha", it turns out that this coffee bean originated in southwestern Ethiopia. In 1963, Pachi Serracin, the old owner of Don Pachi, was the first manor brought back from Costa Rica to grow, known as the father of a Panamanian geisha.

Pachi Serracin was at CATIE, the agricultural scientific research station of the world's largest coffee variety and variety in Costa Rica, where geisha was resistant to two kinds of rust (the harmful bacteria of coffee trees), so he took the geisha variety back to Panama to grow on his own estate and distributed it to other estates (including the Emerald Manor). Don Pachi Manor is located in Boquete, on the east side of the Bar ú volcano. Geisha's production is very low, the economic benefit is very poor, at first may be unaccustomed to soil and water, coffee production is very low, reducing the willingness of coffee farmers to grow, is not popular in Panama only mixed with other coffee beans to sell. After that, some kabuki trees can be found in each manor, even as a windbreak in the coffee garden.

Until Daniel Peterson, the owner of La Esmeralda5 Manor, accidentally found a "geisha" coffee tree in his coffee farm. He became popular in 2004 and won the championship for four consecutive years. At present, Panama is the most famous country in the world for producing geisha coffee, among which La Esmeralda and Don pachi estates are the most famous.

In the 1960s, Francisco Sarracin's father, Francisco Senior, worked for the Panamanian Ministry of Agriculture and brought geisha varieties to Panama from Costa Rica because of its resistance to other common plant diseases in the Boquete region.

In 2011, Francisco Serracin submitted their natural geisha to the SCAP Best of Panama competition. Don Pachi Geisha Natural is one of the highest-scoring coffee in SCAP Best of Panama's auction history and one of the highest prices ever, earning $111.50 a pound at auction.
