Geisha is pronounced the same as the Japanese word "geisha," hence its alternative name as Geisha coffee. Because the tree variety is 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, seeking to participate in the annual Panama Best Coffee competition, tested all coffee tree varieties throughout the estate, giving Geisha the opportunity to make its debut. Since then, it has participated in various world coffee competitions, winning a total of eleven championships.

The Geisha variety was discovered in 1931 from the Geisha forest in Ethiopia and then sent to the Coffee Research Institute in Kenya. In 1936, it was introduced to Uganda and Tanzania, and in 1953, Costa Rica brought it in. For a long time, Geisha didn't receive much attention until one day, Don Pachi initially 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 it won the national coffee championship.

Geisha possesses full sweetness, an extremely clean mouthfeel, and rich aromas that extend from berries and citrus notes to mango, papaya, and peach flavors. A very distinct bergamot-like aftertaste is also one of its typical cupping attributes. To this day, Geisha remains the champion among coffee varieties.

About Finca Morgan

Finca Morgan is located southwest of the "Baru Volcano," known as Panama's highest peak. The estate covers approximately five hectares, with an average of two thousand coffee trees per hectogram. Due to plant growth characteristics and cultivation philosophy, only some coffee trees produce coffee fruit each season. The coffee cherries undergo meticulous selection and processing, with only small quantities of coffee beans reaching the market.

Finca Morgan is simultaneously influenced by 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 period 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 fruit harvesting. For coffee tree management, if a tree is found to have pest infestation, the estate will completely remove the entire tree and renovate the soil to isolate the disease and protect other healthy coffee trees.

This has kept Finca Morgan's green bean prices at a high level in the market, with customers mainly being competition baristas within the coffee industry. These top baristas believe that whether a coffee can become excellent is determined when it is still a green bean or even a seed. As with Finca Morgan's Geisha, its destiny as an extraordinary cup is already set when it's a green bean.
