Single Origin Coffee Variety --- Malawi Misuku Geisha Natural 1850M

Geisha has become almost synonymous with premium coffee in recent years, especially Panamanian Geisha, making it difficult to find affordable beans. This is because Panamanian Geisha has low production volume, high production costs, coupled with its unique flavor profile, and coffee merchants from around the world compete to purchase it, driving prices to remain high. However, in recent years, many estates have increased their offerings of African native Geisha varieties. Although not as uniquely flavored as Central American Geisha, their citrus notes and refreshing, delicate flavors are quite impressive. Moreover, compared to Central American Geisha, the price is considerably more reasonable. I've tasted many renowned estates in the past, such as Injerto in Guatemala and La Candelilla in Costa Rica, and paired with their excellent processing techniques, the flavor performances have been quite remarkable.

Although Malawi is a coffee-producing country, it hasn't been particularly notable in the specialty bean market. However, in recent years, it has gradually made a name for itself in the specialty coffee market. This time, I obtained the natural processed African Geisha. According to the cupping notes provided by the merchant, it features citrus, floral notes, ripe fruit, berries, cantaloupe, honey, and plum-like sweetness, with soft acidity. At first glance, these flavors seem comparable to Central American Geisha.

After resting for 24 hours, I tested it by taking 15g of beans, grinding them, and brewing with 250ml of water at 93°C, extracting approximately 220cc of coffee liquid. The aroma is classic of natural processed beans, with berries and ripe fruit notes similar to dried longan. However, upon tasting, I found this bean to be rather playful. The flavor resembles citrus chocolate, with quite distinct orange citrus aroma, along with dark chocolate-like flavor and body. Although the roast level isn't deep, the acidity is gentle and not harsh. It also performs quite well as espresso. The aroma and taste present two different styles. When used to make milk-based beverages, the combination of berry aroma mixed with citrus peel and chocolate flavors is also very interesting.
