This variety was first collected from the coffee forests of Ethiopia in the 1930s. From there, it was sent to the Lyamungu Research Station in Tanzania and then taken to the Centre for Agronomic Tropical Survey (CATIE) in Central America in 1953, where it was registered as T2722. It spread widely through CATIE in Panama after it was found to be resistant to coffee leaf rust in the 1960s. However, the branches of this plant are fragile and unpopular with farmers, so they are not widely planted. The coffee rose to fame in 2005, when the Peterson family of Boquete in Panama took part in the "Best of Panama" competition and auction. It got a very high score, breaking the record price of green coffee at auction at the time and selling it for $20 a pound.

There is a lot of confusion about geisha because there are many genetically different plant types called geisha, many of which originated in Ethiopia. A recent genetic diversity analysis conducted by the World Coffee Research Corporation confirmed that the descendants of geisha in T2722 in Panama are unique and unified. When these plants are well managed at high altitudes, they are associated with extremely high cup-shaped quality and are famous for their delicate aromas of flowers, jasmine and peach.

The words Geisha (geisha) and Gesha (Gesha) are often used interchangeably because there is no fixed English translation in Ethiopian dialects. Coffee was first recorded in the germplasm records of Geisha, and coffee researchers and germplasm banks have adhered to this spelling for decades, leading to its first promotion and use in the coffee industry. The coffee was originally collected in an area near a mountain in Ethiopia, whose name is usually translated into Gesha in English. As a result, many people in the coffee industry prefer to correct this spelling.
