In the cup
In the cup we taste a malic acidity reminiscent of juicy pears, a citric acidity that reminds us of sparkling limes, and a delicate florality similar to jasmine. This coffee has a light body and a sparking finish.
About The Producer
Javier Cantillo Vega is a part of the Divino Niño cooperative. His trees are between three and ten years old, planted on a land spanning approximately three hectares. During harvest season, he employs up to 10 local pickers to handpick the coffee cherries.
Processing
This Geisha is first fermented with the cherry intact in bags for 24 hours. It is then de-pulped and fermented with spring water for 48 hours. The wet parchment is then rinsed thoroughly and placed on raised beds inside a parabolic greenhouse solar dryer for 30 days.
Variety
This variety was originally collected from coffee forests in Ethiopia in the 1930s. From there, it was sent to the Lyamungu research station in Tanzania, and then brought to Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE) in Central America in the 1953, where it was logged as accession T2722. It was distributed throughout Panama via CATIE in the 1960s after it had been recognized for tolerance to coffee leaf rust. However, the plant's branches were brittle and not favored by farmers so it was not widely planted. The coffee came to prominence in 2005 when the Peterson family of Boquete, Panama, entered it into the "Best of Panama" competition and auction. It received exceptionally high marks and broke the then-record for green coffee auction prices, selling for over $20/pound.There is significant confusion about Geisha because there are multiple genetically distinct plant types that have been referred to as Geisha, many of which share similar geographic origins in Ethiopia. Recent genetic diversity analyses conducted by World Coffee Research confirm that Panamanian Geisha descendent from T2722 is distinct and uniform. It is associated with extremely high cup quality when the plants are managed well at high altitude, and is known for its delicate floral, jasmine, and peach-like aromas.
