Kona Geisha

A Legendary Coffee, Reimagined in Kona

With genetics tracing to Panama’s famed Hacienda La Esmeralda, this extraordinary 100% Kona Geisha reveals a lush spectrum of fruit and florals. Syrupy layers of fresh peach, ripe cherry, and pear unfold with bright orange zest, while delicate aromas of lavender and lemongrass linger in the finish. Creamy, silky, and beautifully elegant.

The Coffee That Redefined Extraordinary

Few coffee varieties have captivated the world quite like Geisha. Celebrated for its extraordinary floral aromatics, luminous fruit character, and remarkable complexity, this rare Arabica variety has changed the way coffee lovers think about what a cup of coffee can be.

Its journey began in the forests of Ethiopia, where Geisha was first collected in the 1930s. From there, it traveled through research stations in Africa and Central America before finding an unlikely home in Panama. For decades, its exceptional qualities went largely unrecognized—until 2004, when a Geisha from Hacienda La Esmeralda astonished judges at the Best of Panama competition. Its expressive, perfume-like character captured international attention and helped establish Geisha as one of the world’s most celebrated specialty coffee varieties.

An Extraordinary Expression of Kona

Our Kona Geisha carries a direct connection to that history, with genetics tracing to Hacienda La Esmeralda. Now cultivated on the volcanic slopes of Hawaiʻi’s Kona district, this celebrated variety offers a distinctive Hawaiian expression of its heritage.

Our 100% Kona Geisha is a layered expression of fruit, florals, and texture. Syrupy notes of fresh peach, ripe cherry, and pear are brightened by orange zest, while delicate aromas of lavender and lemongrass emerge in the finish. Creamy and silky, with an elegant, lingering complexity, it’s a coffee that rewards slow appreciation.

A rare opportunity to experience one of the world’s most celebrated coffee varieties through the distinctive character of Kona.

Brewing Kona Geisha
