El Limo Geisha - Honduras

Tasting notes: Sweet and delicate. Lemon, hops and florality.

In a lush mountain area in Santa Bárbara lies the El Limo coffee farm. Here, Evin Moreno grows award-winning Geisha, and invests all income in further developing the coffee farm.

For the second year in a row, we have received a batch of Geisha from Evin Moreno and his farm El Limo. The coffee batch is fermented in two stages, first with pulp and then without pulp (honey). Finally, the coffee beans are washed and dried completely without pulp for 28 days. This enhances the unique aromas of the Geisha bean type and provides a unique taste experience.

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.
