Geisha originated from a very rare wild species in Ethiopia and belongs to a subgenus of Arabica. The name of the bean comes from the place where it was discovered - a place called geisha. The coffee tree grows very tall, has slender leaves, is not afraid of coffee rust, and has the characteristics of widely spaced branches on the trunk. The green beans are slender in appearance, while the cooked beans have a strong, rich fruity aroma. Because the harvest volume of this variety is very low, it cannot be purchased for commercial trade. The most important resource that makes Panama's specialty coffee unique is its microclimate. The east-to-west environment of the Republic of Panama allows cold air currents to flow through the central mountains and converge above 6,500 feet, thus creating a variety of microclimates in the Boquete and Volcán-Candela areas, making it the main producer of Panama's specialty coffee.
Geisha is one of the most original coffee varieties in the world. Some people call it "Geisha" and others translate it as "Gesia". Her name contains gentleness and floral fragrance. It is an unforgettable coffee that is unforgettable after drinking it. It is also a constant winner in bidding and cupping competitions in various countries, and has received extremely high evaluations! The Geisha species was discovered in the Geisha forest in Ethiopia in 1931 and then sent to the Coffee Research Institute in Kenya; it was introduced to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936, and to Costa Rica in 1953. Panama started planting Geisha coffee in the 1970s when Mr. Francisco Serrasin of Dongba Seven Farm distributed seeds from CATIE in Costa Rica.
Gesha varieties, sweeping through the coffee world with the power of a hurricane, this coffee revolution is so fierce that the kings and queens who have occupied the throne of the coffee kingdom for a long time - Jamaican Blue Mountain and Hawaiian Kona - have to retreat. This wild species native to Ethiopia has gone through countless battles and is now valued in major coffee producing areas, and its best spokesperson is the Emerald Manor from Panama. Because of this, if you want to drink the most classic Geisha flavor, the first choice is Front Street Jade Manor Red Label and Front Street Jade Manor Green Label.
However, Panama Geisha coffee has always beenIt is worth a lot, so in most cases we will brew it by hand to fully release the flavor substances. So since the quality of Geisha is so good, can it be made into espresso coffee?
In fact, it is possible to make espresso coffee from single-origin beans. We call it SOE, which stands for single-origin espresso. However, the espresso machine uses a high-temperature and high-pressure extraction method. The concentration of the coffee is very high, which is very easy to amplify the characteristics of the coffee beans. Light roasted beans become more sour, and dark roasted beans become more bitter. Therefore, if you want to make Geisha SOE coffee with an ideal taste, you must choose single-origin Geisha with medium roasting.
To achieve stable extraction, you can buy Front Street Grana Geisha SOE. It is produced in Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. It uses traditional sun-drying and medium-light roasting to highlight the rich sour and sweet citrus, and has a moderate ripe fruit flavor. It is suitable for hand brewing, cold brewing and French press coffee. Current Street Grana Geisha is roasted to medium, which retains the floral fragrance and the delicate texture of yellow peach and cream. It also highlights the caramel feel and mellowness, and gives the concentrate a moderate amount of coffee oil, so it is deeply loved by home users.
In addition, Front Street Coffee beans are freshly roasted within 5 days, providing a longer tasting period and allowing the coffee to present rich floral and fruity aromas.
