FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

The Geisha component in this Tarrazú blend is part of what gives Mirasol its floral lift, and FrontStreet Coffee carries several Geishas that let you explore that character directly. FrontStreet Coffee Emerald Estate Red Label Geisha, officially "Esmeralda Special," comes from a single plot at 1,600-1,800 meters, with every lot cupped above 90 and given its own number, so each batch can be traced back to one small parcel.

FrontStreet Coffee Emerald Estate Green Label Geisha, originally "Private Collection," blends several plots rather than emphasizing individual parcels, which makes it a more affordable way to enjoy the estate's signature high-altitude Geisha profile. For an entry point, FrontStreet Coffee Boquete Geisha is grown at 1,600 meters on volcanic ash soil and shows jasmine, green tea, honey, citrus and orange in the cup.

Ethiopian Geisha is also worth exploring for a brighter, fruitier reading of the variety. FrontStreet Coffee Granada Geisha is a rare single-variety estate coffee from a processing station founded in 2014 near the border of Kochere and Granada Abaya, where the coffee area covers some 700 hectares. Hand-picked and dried on raised beds for 14-20 days, it is roasted medium-light and brews with bright citrus acidity, elegant ginger-lily florals and the full sweetness of ripe fruit.
