Geisha or Gesha coffee hails from the Arabica family, usually associated with beans from Panama. However, Gesha's ancestry traces back to 1931 Kaffa in Ethiopia, where it was first grown in the Gori Gesha forest. Carried to Latin America, the heirloom plant quickly developed a reputation amongst the specialty coffee world. Renowned for its floral, fruity flavor, the taste of Gesha can differ depending on its origin, often boasting hints of mango, guava, papaya, and citrus. This exquisite flavor can be attributed to Ethiopia where it has long reigned supreme.
