You already know that the Geisha coffee variety is no ordinary variety: it is an originally African variety that has now made its way to coffee countries all over the world. It's a coveted rarity because of the small harvests it produces and its exotic, floral flavor profile. Great fame was gained by the Geisha, or Gesha - after its original place of discovery in Ethiopia - when a lot from Finca La Esmeralda in Panama was auctioned off at a record price. Since then, the variety is not only traded at impressively high prices, but also planted on more and more farms around the world, because the farmers see here the opportunity to be able to sell their coffee profitably. On the picture you see Geisha coffee plants in Malawi.
