Description

Colombia, Villa Alejandra, GESHA. caramel, cinnamon, stewed fruits; fruity acidity, a syrupy mouthfeel. Gesha coffee also known as Geisha - there is debate over the correct name - takes its name from a town, Gesha, in western Ethiopia. The Gesha variety became popular when a Panamanian farm entered it in a competition. The coffee proved so unusual that prices skyrocketed. Since, the gesha variety has been planted in certain areas of Central and South America and is still rare and pricey. Although the variety was brought to Panama from Costa Rica, it is believed that it originated in Ethiopia! The farm is owned by Victor Eliecer Garzon and Villa Alejandra is a 7 hectare farm..
