Delicate and floral

An elegant, perfumed Geisha with notes of lychee, rose and white grape, grown by Graciano Cruz at his biodiverse Los Lajones farm in Panama.
Roast
This coffee is a light roast. Roast level influences the flavour and body of coffee. Darker roasts are fuller bodied, lighter roasts brighter. The beans are light brown in colour (unsurprisingly), it will retain more of the natural flavour of the coffee. This can result in a higher acidity and may often show more fruit and floral notes. This roast style means the quality of the coffee shines through the best.
Best Brewed As
filter
This coffee is best brewed as a filter (cafetiere, pour over, aeropress, drip, etc.). All our coffees can be brewed using any method, but this is our recommendation for a method which suits the coffee particularly well.
Processing Method
This coffee was processed using the washed method. Post-harvest processing influences the taste profile. Washed coffees are brighter, naturally processed are sweeter and honey processed are somewhere in between.

This exceptional Geisha comes from Los Lajones, a biodiverse coffee farm in Panama, owned by producer Graciano Cruz. Situated between two ancient lava flows, the farm benefits from a distinctive microclimate and is home to an abundance of birds, butterflies, trees and fungi.

Graciano is passionate about producing exceptional coffee while minimising the natural resources used in processing. His approach combines a commitment to quality with a deep respect for the environment.

This washed Geisha reveals the variety's more delicate side, with remarkable clarity, elegant florals and refined sweetness. Highly complex and beautifully perfumed, it offers notes of lychee, rose and white grape, with a gentle, peach-like sweetness.

Explore it individually or alongside Los Lajones Geisha Natural in our twin pack to discover how processing shapes two distinct expressions of the same variety.
