Geisha (or Gesha) is an ancient Ethiopian wild coffee varietal, named so because it was originally discovered close to the town of Gesha in Southwestern Ethiopia. A low-yielding varietal that highly prized for its quintessential delicate taste profile that typically leans fruity and floral.
These Costa Rican Geisha beans are ‘Honey’ processed - a rare form of ‘Carbonic Maceration’ processing that consists of letting the coffee ferment within airtight drums for three days in a carbon dioxide saturated environment. The Honey process uses pulped coffee with the mucilage left on inside the drum, which creates a smoother body and a sweeter, more syrupy and ‘liquor-ish’ taste profile compared to traditional processing methods.
The Coffea Diversa estate is home to the largest private coffee varietal collection in the world, with about 200 botanical coffee varieties & cultivars. Gonzalo Hernandez, the owner of Coffea Diversa and one of the world's leading specialists on coffee varietals, describes the estate not as a coffee farm, but a 'coffee garden' where rare and hard to grow varietals thrive.
Located in one of the most remote areas of Costa Rica in the Biolley District, coffee beans in the Coffea Diversa garden grow in the confluence of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean climates, a rare phenomenon that has a superb effect on the taste profile of its coffees.
