Nestled at an elevation of 1,350 to 1,500 meters near the majestic Volcan Baru and the UNESCO-protected La Amistad International Park, this farm boasts the perfect terroir.

About the process

WHAT IS A Argonic Natural PROCESS?

It belongs to the Natural coffee processes.

IN THIS COFFEE:

Harvested at peak ripeness in Baru Black Mountain, this Geisha undergoes a strict 90-hour Argonic Natural fermentation. By injecting argon gas to completely displace oxygen, this zero-oxidation environment preserves the cherry's pure varietal expression before a slow, meticulous dry on African beds.

ABOUT THE VARIETAL

GENERAL INFORMATION:

  • NAME: Geisha
  • MOTHER SPECIES: Arabica
  • RIPE CHERRY COLOUR: Red

TYPICAL CUP PROFILE:

The Geisha variety is globally celebrated for its extraordinarily sweet, complex, and tea-like cup profile. It is intensely aromatic, featuring dominant floral notes of jasmine, orange blossom, and orchid, beautifully complemented by bright, sparkling citrus flavors such as bergamot, lemongrass, and tangerine. With a delicate, elegant body, a refined malic acidity, and distinct undertones of stone fruits and white peach, it leaves a long, clean, and honey-like sweetness on the finish.

GENETIC ORIGIN & HISTORY:

Geisha is an ancestral wild variety that originates from the southwestern mountains of Ethiopia, specifically near the town of Gesha. In the 1930s, seeds were collected and brought to Kenya and Tanzania, eventually making their way to Latin America (Costa Rica) in the 1950s due to its tolerance to certain coffee diseases. However, its true legendary status was achieved in 2004 in Boquete, Panama, when Hacienda La Esmeralda isolated the variety, noticed its mind-blowing floral profile at high altitudes, and entered it into the "Best of Panama" auction. It shattered all price records, completely revolutionizing the modern specialty coffee industry.
