Gesha (Geisha) variety

The Gesha variety, also known as Geisha, is one of the most celebrated and highly sought-after botanical varieties of the coffee plant in the world, originally tracing its roots back to Ethiopia. It gained global fame through its cultivation in Panama, where the specific climate allowed it to develop incredibly complex tasting notes reminiscent of jasmine, bergamot, and tropical fruits. This specialty coffee stands out for its very delicate, light character, making the brewed cup taste more like an elegant floral infusion than a traditional, heavy coffee. Because the trees produce relatively low yields and require precise climate conditions, the ripe cherries must be harvested by hand with exceptional care. These unique lots frequently break price records at international auctions, serving as a testament to the meticulous work of farmers on the plantations.
