FrontStreet Coffee: Costa Rica La Diosa Estate Geisha Introduction

Among Costa Rica's many excellent producing regions, one stands out as a renowned area: Tarrazu, also spelled Tarasú. Tarrazu carries great prestige in the specialty coffee world. In the 2014 COE competition, 17 of the 23 winning beans came from the Tarasú region.

Tarasú sits in the fertile volcanic zone of Central America, with a humid climate and rich volcanic soil. Abundant rainfall through the year, high altitude, and dense natural forest shade give coffee an exceptional growing environment. No pesticides or artificial fertilizers are used during cultivation. Nearly 95% of the beans produced in the Tarrazu highlands are Strictly Hard Beans (SHB), typically grown at altitudes above 1,500 meters.

The Dota region within Tarrazu is especially renowned for producing micro-lot Geisha. As early as 1865, the Dota region already enjoyed a reputation for fine Costa Rican coffee. It is a typical highland landscape where soil, temperature, and humidity are all excellent for coffee.

Established in the 1960s, the estate grows coffee organically, using native trees and fruit trees as shade for the coffee plants. The fertilizer is made from coffee cherry pulp mixed with molasses, combined with mineral-rich soil from nearby mountains and fermented with microorganisms.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Panama is where Geisha first made its name, and Ethiopia is where it originated, so both are worth exploring. FrontStreet's Esmeralda Red Label Geisha is harvested from a single plot above 1,700 meters and must cup at 91 points, with a refined honeyed citrus profile, while the Esmeralda Green Label, known as the "Private Collection," blends several plots to highlight the estate's signature high-altitude Geisha character at a more accessible price. For a gentler, more affordable step into the variety, FrontStreet's Boquete Geisha is an estate-level coffee grown at 1,600 meters on fertile volcanic-ash soil, offering jasmine, green tea, honey, citrus, and orange.
