An award-winning Geisha with the seductive notes of floral jasmine, sweet white peach and citrusy bergamot. Who can resist to this fabulous coffee?
About the coffee
The name of the farm is dedicated to Santa Lucia, a martyr of the Catholic Church who defended her faith with her gaze. The owner of the farm, Erwin Jose Mierisch, has had problems with his sight since birth and so has his eldest daughter: Lucía.
Erwin Jose Mierisch's project began in 2014 with the planting of Geisha coffee, imported directly from Panamá, on his farm Santa Lucia, in the department of Comayagua, Rio Bonito. It is an organic farm certified by Control Union according to the NOP, EU and JAS standards and produces in a carbon neutral way. In addition to coffee, bananas, lemons and avocados are also grown.
The specialization has paid off: the Geisha of Finca Santa Lucía won the Honduras Coffee Cup of Excellence not only in 2019 with a fabulous 94.84 points but also in 2021 with 90.67 points!!!
About the farm
This project has been part of the Mierisch family for 5 years and is managed by Eleane Mierisch.
Grindsize
If you don't have a grinder at home, we'll be happy to grind the coffee to your specifications. Simply click on your preparation option above or order whole beans.
Find the right grind. You can get the most out of your coffee by grinding your beans just before brewing. Take a look at the equipment selection if you are interested in a grinder.
You can also select a grind level in each product if you want us to grind the beans for you. We use a Mahlkönig EK43 for this.
Frenchpress and Aeropress are ground on the same setting.
Cultivation
Grown with love by great farmers. 100% Arabica coffee, harvested when ripe and carefully processed. Sustainable and fairly traded.
Coffee is a fruit with many natural fruit acids. We roast our coffees to bring out these acids, but also to bring out the sweetness. When our roasters develop a flavour profile for a filter coffee, they make sure to use a slightly lower temperature. In our coffees, we bring out the natural flavour profile of each variety, but also of the terroir of Origin.
