This has kept the green bean prices of Finca Morgan at consistently high levels in the market, with customers primarily being competition baristas within the coffee industry. These top baristas believe that whether coffee can become a great cup is determined when it's still a green bean, or even when it's just a seed. For example, the Geisha from Finca Morgan was destined to become an extraordinary cup from the moment it was a green bean.

The Geisha Story

Geisha is pronounced the same as the Japanese word "geisha," hence it's also known 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, wanting to participate in the annual "Best of Panama" coffee competition, searched through all coffee tree varieties in the estate for testing, which gave Geisha its opportunity to shine. It later 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, it was brought to Costa Rica. For a long time, Geisha didn't receive much attention until one day when Don Pachi initially brought it from the small town of GESHA in southwestern Ethiopia to Costa Rica. Later, Geisha traveled along the southern route into Panama, where Panama's Hacienda La Esmeralda separated it from other varieties and it went on to win the national coffee championship.

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

About Finca Morgan

Finca Morgan is located southwest of Baru Volcano, known as Panama's highest peak. The estate covers approximately five hectares, with an average of 2,000 coffee trees per hectave. Due to plant growth characteristics and cultivation philosophy, only some coffee trees can produce coffee cherries each season. The coffee cherries undergo careful re-selection and processing, with only small amounts of coffee beans ultimately reaching the market.

Finca Morgan is simultaneously influenced by Atlantic monsoon climate and Pacific monsoon climate. The microclimate within the estate is rich and variable, with significant temperature differences between day and night. This delays the maturation period of coffee cherries, allowing for more complete development and enhanced sweetness. Due to the 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 completely remove the entire tree and renew the soil to isolate the disease and protect other healthy coffee trees.
