About Geisha Coffee

Geisha is pronounced the same as the Japanese word "geisha," hence it's also known as Geisha coffee. Because the Geisha variety grows taller than typical coffee trees, it was originally planted in a small area within the estate and used as a windbreak. The estate owner's son, wanting to participate in the annual Panama Best Coffee competition, searched through all coffee tree varieties in the estate for testing, which gave Geisha its opportunity to shine. Since then, it has participated in various international coffee competitions, winning a total of eleven championships.

The Geisha variety was discovered in the Geisha forest of Ethiopia in 1931 and then sent to the Coffee Research Institute in Kenya. In 1936, it was introduced to Uganda and Tanzania, and in 1953, Costa Rica introduced it. For a long time, Geisha didn't receive much attention until one day when Don Pachi first brought it from the small town of GESHA in southwestern Ethiopia to Costa Rica. Afterward, Geisha entered Panama along the southern route, where Panama's Hacienda La Esmeralda separated it from other varieties and won the national coffee championship.

Geisha possesses full sweetness, an extremely clean cup profile, and rich aromas that range from berries and citrus to mango, papaya, and peach. A very distinct bergamot-like aftertaste is also its typical cupping characteristic. To date, Geisha has remained the champion among coffee varieties.

About Finca Morgan Estate

Finca Morgan Estate is located southwest of Volcán Barú, Panama's highest peak. The estate covers approximately five hectares, with an average of 2,000 coffee trees per hectagon. Due to plant growth characteristics and cultivation philosophy, only some coffee trees can produce coffee cherries each season. The coffee cherries undergo meticulous selection and processing, with only small amounts of coffee beans reaching the market.

Finca Morgan Estate is simultaneously influenced by both Atlantic monsoon climate and Pacific monsoon climate, creating rich and diverse microclimates within the estate. The large temperature difference between day and night slows the maturation of coffee cherries, allowing for more complete development and enhanced sweetness. Due to high altitude, the estate's terrain is predominantly mountainous, with coffee planted on steep slopes, which increases the difficulty of coffee tree management and cherry harvesting. For coffee tree management, if a tree is found to have pest infestation, the estate will remove the entire tree, renew the soil, and thereby isolate the disease to protect other healthy coffee trees.

This has kept Finca Morgan Estate's green bean prices at a high level in the market, with customers primarily being competition baristas within the coffee industry. These top baristas believe that whether a coffee can become exceptional is determined when it's still a green bean or even a seed. Like Finca Morgan Estate's Geisha, its greatness is destined from the green bean stage to become an extraordinary cup.
