Geisha is a coffee variety that is dominated by delicate floral aroma and sweet fruit flavor. It subverted the perceptions of the judges in the 2004 Best Panamanian Green Bean Competition, and has since become an important variety leading the flavor trend in the coffee industry. Its fame has also driven the development trend of specialty coffee in the past 20 years.
Before Geisha coffee beans were known to the world, the coffee everyone pursued was a mellow and rich style, mostly with a dark roasted burnt and bitter taste. But after the emergence of Geisha coffee, everyone is pursuing a floral and fruity aroma, a fresh taste, and a low bitterness. The roasting style of coffee beans has also evolved from dark roasting to light roasting, with the purpose of allowing the coffee beans to retain more sourness.
Thanks to Panama’s unique terroir and the foresight of Emerald Manor, the tall and thin Geisha coffee trees were planted at high altitudes. The result was a high-quality coffee with a floral, tangerine and sour flavor. It successfully topped the list of the best Panama coffee competition, and Gesha became an instant hit.
As a popular variety today, Geisha has many titles such as "sky-high-priced coffee", "Hermès in coffee", "top of the coffee industry", etc. Especially Panama Geisha, which is also the most expensive style in many cafes, so it is often ridiculed as "Guisha". So as a loyal Geisha fan, how can you achieve the freedom of Geisha?
