Jimenez Geisha - Peru

About This Coffee

Tasting notes: Floral and complex. Peach and citrus notes. In the highlands of Cajamarca, surrounded by shade trees and volcanic soil, lies Los Quiques. Here, geisha is cultivated with great care and every step of the refinement reflects Cristobal Jimenez’s dedication to quality. Geisha is a rare and relatively young coffee bean variety known for its exceptional intensity and complexity. Originally from the small town of Geisha in southwestern Ethiopia, the plant later reached Costa Rica and has become especially celebrated in Panama. The trees grow taller than most coffee plants and develop long, narrow leaves and cherries. To reach their full potential, Geisha plants must be cultivated at high altitudes. In the cup, they are recognized for their clean sweetness, bright berry and stone-fruit notes, and a fresh, bergamot-like finish.
