The Origin of Geisha Coffee

Geisha is pronounced the same as the Japanese word "geisha" (art performer), hence it is also called Geisha coffee. Because the tree variety is taller than ordinary 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, searched through all coffee tree varieties in the estate for testing, giving Geisha its chance to shine. Since then, it has also participated in various world coffee competitions, winning a total of eleven championships.

Geisha's Journey

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 imported 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 quickly won the national coffee championship.

Flavor Profile

Geisha possesses full-bodied 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 attributes. To date, Geisha has remained the champion among coffee varieties.

About Morgan Estate

Morgan Estate is located southwest of Volcán Barú, known as Panama's highest peak. The estate covers about five hectares, with an average of two thousand coffee trees per hectare. Due to plant growth characteristics and cultivation philosophy, only some coffee trees can produce coffee fruit each season. The coffee fruits undergo meticulous selection and processing, with only small amounts of coffee beans reaching 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 fruits, 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 fruit harvesting. For coffee tree management, if a tree is found to have pests, the estate will completely 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 in the coffee industry. These top baristas believe that whether coffee can become a good cup is determined when it's still green beans or even seeds. Like Morgan Estate's Geisha, its destiny as an extraordinary cup is determined from its green bean stage.
