About Morgan Manor

Morgan Manor 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 planted per hectogram. Due to plant growth characteristics and cultivation philosophy, only some coffee trees can produce coffee fruits each season. After meticulous selection and processing of the coffee fruits, only a small amount of coffee beans can reach the market.

Morgan Manor 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 maturity 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 increases the difficulty of coffee tree management and fruit harvesting. For coffee tree management, if a tree is found to have pests, the estate will completely remove the tree and renovate the soil to isolate the disease and protect other healthy coffee trees.

This has kept Morgan Manor's green bean prices at a high level in the market, with customers basically being baristas who participate in competitions within the coffee industry. These top baristas believe that whether a coffee can become a good cup is determined when it's still a green bean or even a seed. For example, the Geisha from Morgan Manor was destined to be an extraordinary cup from when it was a green bean.

The pronunciation of Geisha is the same as the Japanese word for 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 Best of Panama competition, searched through all coffee tree varieties in the estate for testing, which gave Geisha the opportunity to shine. 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. Costa Rica introduced it in 1953. For a long time, not many people paid attention to Geisha until one day when 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 Esmeralda Estate separated it from other varieties and it won the national coffee championship.

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