El Limo Geisha - Honduras

Tasting notes: Floral and delicate. Citrus, ripe berries, and stone fruit.

In a lush mountainous area in Santa Bárbara, Evin Moreno cultivates Geisha that has achieved several high rankings in the Cup of Excellence. He is currently further developing the farm with a new, modern drying facility and additional Geisha plants.

This is the third lot of Geisha we are releasing from Evin Moreno and his farm, El Limo. The coffee batch is fermented in two stages, first with the fruit pulp intact, and subsequently with the pulp partially removed. Finally, the coffee beans are washed and dried completely without pulp for 28 days. This enhances the unique aromatic profile of the Geisha variety, resulting in a distinctive tasting 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.
