Tasting Notes: Pineapple, Mango, Orange, Jasmine Tea, Vanilla
Geisha, a “superstar” coffee plant varietal, is well known for its intense fruit flavors, tea-like characteristics, and floral bouquet. It is also known to be a fussy coffee to grow, needing constant nurturing and care to bring forth all this ancient heirloom plant has to offer. Because of that, only the most skilled coffee farmers attempt to grow it.
Although this is the first harvest of Geisha from our friends at La Revuelta, they knocked it out of the park with this one! Flavorful and dynamic with notes of pineapple, orange, mango, vanilla and jasmine tea—it is a great example of all this ancient coffee varietal has hidden within it.
About La Revuelta
Originally a cactus farm for natural clothing dye, La Revuelta farm has been in the Starry family since the 1800s. In 1995, under the leadership of Christian Starry and his dad, coffee became their sole focus. Under their leadership, the farm has evolved into a world class, highly regarded coffee producer. As the first farm in their region to build their own wet mill; they are dedicated to producing coffee with the highest degree of quality and integrity.
Christian (shown above), is also the founder of Truth Trading Company, an organization dedicated to helping fellow coffee farmers produce high quality coffee that is directly traded with roasters such as ourselves. With Christians help, many local farmers are now able to grow long-term, fully transparent trading relationships.
