About Morgan Estate

Morgan Estate is located southwest of Volcán Barú, known as Panama's highest peak. The estate covers an area of approximately five hectares, with an average of two thousand coffee trees planted per hectogram. Due to plant growth characteristics and cultivation philosophy, only some coffee trees can produce coffee cherries each season. After careful selection and processing of coffee cherries, only a small amount of coffee beans can reach the market.

Morgan Estate is simultaneously influenced by Atlantic monsoon climate and Pacific monsoon climate. The microclimate within the estate is rich and varied, with large 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 adds difficulty to coffee tree management and cherry harvesting. For coffee tree management, if a tree is found to be infected with pests, the estate will remove the entire tree and renew the soil to isolate the disease and protect other healthy coffee trees.

This has kept Morgan Estate'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 coffee can become a good cup is determined when it's still a green bean or even a seed. For example, Morgan Estate's Geisha was destined for an extraordinary cup from its green bean stage.

Geisha Coffee History

The pronunciation of Geisha is 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 owner's son, wanting 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 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. In 1953, Costa Rica introduced it. For a long time, not many people paid attention to Geisha until one day, Don Pachi originally 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 Esmeralda Estate separated it from other varieties and it won the National Coffee Competition Championship.

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