FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Panama Geisha Coffee

Geisha is the champion among coffee varieties. Whether in terms of flavor or coffee taste, it deeply fascinates people. This is one of the reasons why Geisha coffee is unforgettable and famous. Additionally, Geisha coffee receives high ratings of over 90 points in the specialty coffee industry. Finding top-tier Geisha coffee beans on the market is not an easy task.

Geisha, because its pronunciation is the same as the Japanese word for geisha, has also earned the nickname "Geisha Coffee." Compared to Blue Mountain coffee, Hawaiian coffee, and Mandheling coffee, Geisha coffee has richer and more diverse floral and fruit aromas, with distinct layers of intense tropical fruit sweetness. In the eyes of coffee enthusiasts, Geisha is undoubtedly a well-deserved goddess. Many are captivated by its bright, complex floral and fruit aromas, multi-layered high-sweetness fruit notes, and delicate soft acidity.

The Geisha variety needs to be planted at higher altitudes. In Panama, the best Geisha is grown above 1,700 meters. Some estates, like Elida Estate, plant Geisha at elevations between 1,700-1,950 meters. Its yield is extremely low - just an excuse for high prices. What truly fascinates people is the unique and enticing coffee flavor of Geisha, which is the most important reason for its exceptional value. Geisha needs to be harvested at the most appropriate moment of maturity and immediately undergo post-processing.

Compared to other coffee varieties, Geisha coffee beans have a very thin leaf system, which means their photosynthetic efficiency is far lower than other varieties. Most importantly, their root system is also fragile, which reduces water and energy intake. A Geisha coffee tree produces only half the coffee beans of the Catuai variety.
