We are incredibly excited to be offering the very special El Corozo Geisha. On our most recent visit to the farm we saw the incredible yields that Fernando Lima (our amazing producer) has achieved at El Corozo with his geisha plants. We had to get this at KIN+ILK and show off his best coffee.
Geisha Coffee is a rare and very sought after variety of Arabica coffee. It first originated from the Gori Gesha forest in Ethiopia but gained widespread recognition after being cultivated in Central America, firstly in Costa Rica but most famously by Panama.
Geisha plants like to thrive in high altitude regions. El Corozo is situated 1900 masl (metres above sea level) this makes it one of the highest farms in El Salvador.
The plants are grown under the shade to slow down the maturation process. This means the beans to develop more complex flavours and the cherries ripen at a similar rate which is important for an efficient harvest.
