Specialty Coffee from Europe - Geisha
Two different varieties are currently being cultivated on the Finca Anthea Café in the east of the island of La Palma: Castillo and Geisha! Castillo is a variety that is typically grown in Colombia. A friend of the farmer, José, brought this variety to La Palma around 20 years ago and thereby ensured the return of coffee cultivation on the Canary Island. Geisha is a real specialty among specialty coffees. The variety originally comes from Ethiopia. However, the unusual variety only became really well known through a subspecies that was bred and developed in Panama.
The La Palma Geisha is therefore a very special specialty because it thrives in Europe. This coffee is processed using milk fermentation. After harvesting, the cherries are placed in a tank for 240 hours and fermented using anaerobic maceration. In addition, water from the Taburiente caldera filtered in volcanic rock and the ash from the volcano are added. The entire processing is managed and monitored by a professional coffee producer. The La Palma Geisha coffee is lightly roasted in our coffee roastery. This exquisite specialty coffee is ideal for preparing as filter coffee. You can expect a taste of roses with fine notes of orange blossom and yellow stone fruits.
