Geisha can be said to be one of the most famous coffees. Geisha should be called Geisha, which is pronounced the same as Geisha in Japanese, so it is also called Geisha coffee. Geisha coffee was originally grown in Ethiopia, but it was not very eye-catching and not valued locally because the tree species are taller than ordinary coffee trees and were planted in a small area in Panama.
Because Geisha coffee has the characteristics of low yield, tall plants, and difficulty in picking, it is far less popular than the Caturakaduai variety. It was mostly ignored in Panama. It was not until Panama Geisha Hacienda La Esmeralda separated it from other varieties in 2003 and became the BOP competition champion in 2004 that Geisha officially entered everyone's attention, and this variety spread all over the world.
Since Geisha coffee became famous, countries that grow this coffee variety are now popping up like a tide, and the prices and origins are also endless. Of course, the flavor also varies depending on the production area, processing method, and roasting degree. Here are three must-dry Geishas for everyone: Front Street Emerald Green Label Geisha, Front Street Gesha Village Red Label, and Front Street Grana Estate Gesha.
1. To enjoy the high-grade Geisha from famous brand estates, Front Street Jade Green Label is your first choice.
As a Geisha variety, there is no doubt about the quality of Emerald Manor Coffee. Front Street Emerald Green Label Geisha adopts a mixed harvesting method, so you can drink the most orthodox Panamanian Geisha flavor at a more affordable price. In order to present the classic floral and fruity aroma, Front Street Jade Green Label Geisha uses medium-light roasting. The entrance is rich and sweet with jasmine aroma, citrus, berry, juice, cream, green tea, orange peel, cantaloupe. The overall flavor is rich in layers, and the aftertaste is floral and citrus lasting.
2. To drink native Geisha, buy Front Street Geisha Village Red Label.
The Front Street Gesha Village Red Label batch of coffee beans accounts for about 15% of the annual output of Gesha Village. It is a batch with complete traceability and a cupping score of more than 88 points (SCA standard). It has a typical Ethiopian Gesha flavor, with elegant floral aroma, bright acidity, and mostly fruit flavors such as citrus, lemon, and apricot. It is a single-product batch with a very high cost performance.

3. In pursuit of high cost performance, baristas strongly recommend the grain-grade Front Street Grana Manor Gesha.

Front Street Grana Manor Geisha is sun-dried. When roasted medium-light, the main fruit aromas are peach, citrus, and guava. It is best made by hand brewing and cold extraction. When roasted medium-high, it is Front Street Geisha SOE, which can extract concentrated Italian style, and the flavor changes to dried apricots, caramel, and nuts.
