Today, Front Street Coffee will tell you its legendary story!
In 1936, in the British colony of Abyssinia in Africa (the old name for Ethiopia), British Consul Colonel Richard Whalley collected 10 pounds of coffee samples on Geisha Mountain in order to survey Ethiopia's wild coffee varieties. This can be regarded as the earliest Geisha variety. In the 1960s, after drifting for a long time through Tanzania and Costa Rica, Geisha finally arrived at Hacienda La Esmeralda in Panama. Nearly half a century later, Geisha burst onto the scene, defeating the perennial champions among coffees such as Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai, and Typica, and sweeping the top prize at the Best of Panama cupping competition in 2005, 2006, and 2007 in one go.
In 2007, at the international famous bean cupping competition hosted by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA), Geisha won the championship again, and its auction price reached 130 dollars per pound, setting the highest value record ever for competition beans. Geisha participated in various worldwide coffee competitions and won a total of twelve championships. This wild variety native to Ethiopia swept through the coffee world like a hurricane, making even the long-reigning king and queen of the coffee kingdom - Jamaica Blue Mountain and Hawaii Kona - retreat.
Geisha coffee green beans have a jade-like warm and smooth texture and a beautiful blue-green color. Among many coffees, Geisha is slender in shape and, like Mandheling, is highly recognizable. Floral aroma and the intense sweetness of tropical fruit are the consistent characteristics of Geisha.
Panama GeishaThe reason coffee beans are world-famous is that they have rich floral aromas, citrus and berry notes, a juicy mouthfeel, finer acidity as the temperature drops, and an overall richly layered flavor profile. Coffee cultivation throughout Panama is centered around the Chiriqui volcanic region.Geisha coffee beanscan be said to be quite picky about the growing environment. They need to be grown in areas with higher altitude, cloud and mist shading or shade from a large number of shade trees, and fertile soil in order to harvest the captivating floral aroma, delicate fruit acidity, and richly layered flavor profile.
