El Salvador La Cumbre Geisha Natural

This incredible Geisha is grown on Finca La Cumbre, a high-altitude plot within the historic Finca El Manzano estate in El Salvador. The farm’s cool mountain air, rich volcanic soil, and ideal diurnal shifts enhance the Geisha’s floral complexity. With generations of experience, producers Emilio López and Jose Roberto Santamaría have crafted this exceptional coffee. In 2018, Emilio won 1st and 2nd place in the Cup of Excellence El Salvador in his first ever entry, highlighting his skill and dedication. For this lot, only the ripest cherries are handpicked and delivered to the El Manzano wet mill. After washing, they’re laid on patios and raked throughout a 12–14 day drying process. This slow, even method preserves clarity, structure, and sweetness in the final cup. Expect vibrant notes of pear, jasmine, grapefruit and guava.

Roaster Quote - Karen:
“This Geisha truly rewards careful brewing — a slower, gentler pour and a slightly cooler water temperature (91–92°C) bring its delicate flavours to life. Using a flatbed filter helps highlight the jasmine and pear notes giving you more clarity, while a longer bloom (40 sec) allows the tea-like body to develop softly, finishing with a clean, juicy acidity.”
