Geisha

Geisha – sounds like a mysterious lady from Japan, but don’t be fooled! This is no tea ceremony mistress, but rather a star of the coffee world who has won the hearts and taste buds of connoisseurs around the world. This botanical variety of coffee comes from Ethiopia, but gained its fame thanks to Panamanian farmers who took her in like a lost puppy and then spoiled her to the max.

Geisha is a coffee with such a delicate character that it could play the lead role in a soap opera. Its taste is a flirtation between a floral bouquet, delicate notes of jasmine, and an intense hit of tropical fruits - as if someone had thrown a bouquet of flowers into a basket full of mango and papaya, and then watered it all down with a pinch of elegance.

But be careful! Geisha is demanding – it needs special conditions to grow, like a diva who demands only the softest pillows and spring water. But once it blooms, it can reward all the hardships with the most beautiful, wonderful cup of coffee that will make you forget that instant coffee even exists. So, if you haven't tried Geisha yet, it's high time to reach for a cup and prepare for true coffee love at first sip!


Plant
The Geisha coffee bush is a plant with an elegant, upright habit, with long, narrow leaves that are often dark green and shiny. These bushes can reach up to 2-3 meters in height, and their branches are spreading. During the flowering period, the bush is covered with white, fragrant flowers that look like small, white stars - they resemble jasmine flowers.

Grains
Before being roasted, Geisha beans are small and green with a characteristic elongated shape. After roasting, they take on a dark brown color and have delicate, slightly elongated grooves running through the center. They are slightly larger and more elongated compared to many other coffee varieties. Roasted Geisha beans often have a smooth surface and a rich aroma that announces extraordinary taste experiences - from delicate floral notes to intense fruit accents.
