THE ESSENCE

Geisha coffee is celebrated as the most prized varietal in the world of specialty coffee. It offers a beautiful cup with floral and fruity notes unlike any other coffee. Discovered in 2004 by the award-winning estate, Hacienda La Esmeralda, founded in 1967 on farmland with a century-long coffee-growing tradition. We are proud to have been offered an exclusive micro-lot weighing a mere 38kg of beans. This coffee offers a rare and extraordinary sensory experience, highlighting the unique flavours and meticulous cultivation that makes Geisha so esteemed.

THE TASTE EXPERIENCE

THE TASTE EXPERIENCE

An incredibly juicy cup of coffee with plum sweetness and a citrusy aftertaste. Complex notes of jasmine flowers, bergamot and stone fruit. The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti of Coffee.

Panama Esmeralda Geisha is my favourite coffee because it reflects my cooking philosophy in the cup. It is elegant, balanced and with a strong identify. I am surprised every time when I taste it and rediscover all its nuances, and I am amazed at its complexity.
