Geisha FAQ
Specialty coffee drinkers seeking a rare, floral and fruit‑driven cup. It has an amazingly rich aftertaste and the coffee builds flavour as it cools down, making it an ideal coffee to have on your desk in a big mug and sip away at.
Chanchamayo, Peru (1,500–1,800 m).
Heirloom Geisha; sun‑dried.
Light–medium roast.
Rare variety with floral and fruity character that was introduced in South America, mainly Panama and Peru from Ethiopia in the 1950s. In the last decades it gained huge popularity due to its delicate flavours that are somewhat in the middle of specialty tea and coffee.
Recommended for soft brewing such as V60, Aeropress or Chemex and other pour over / immersion methods. It is not well suited for espresso extraction.
Best enjoyed black to showcase florals and fruit. It is the one coffee that does not combine well with milk as it neutralises a lot of the flavour.
We allow Geisha to rest for at least a week post-roast so CO2 can degas and the intricate aromatics can unfold. Then we seal it straight into nitrogen-flushed, triple-layer high-barrier bags with premium one-way valves. That guards against oxygen and moisture while venting remaining gas, keeping those fragile flavours intact for up to 24 months. Direct sourcing and small-batch roasting in New Plymouth mean quality is managed all the way through. Learn more in “The importance of coffee packaging: how it keeps your coffee fresh.”
