What is specialty coffee?

Specialty coffee refers to high-quality coffee beans that are sourced from specific microclimates, carefully cultivated, harvested, and processed to bring out unique flavors and characteristics. It emphasizes quality, sustainability, and traceability throughout the entire coffee supply chain.

How is specialty coffee different from regular coffee?

Specialty coffee focuses on the quality and unique characteristics of the coffee beans, whereas regular coffee is more about mass production and consistency. Specialty coffee often has distinct flavors, and its beans are graded and scored based on attributes such as aroma, taste, and body.

What is single-origin coffee?

Single-origin coffee refers to coffee beans that are sourced from a single geographical region, farm, or producer. This can highlight the unique characteristics of the coffee beans influenced by the specific climate, soil, and processing methods of that region.

How is Geisha Coffee graded and scored?

Specialty Geisha Coffee is graded and scored using a standardized system developed by the Specialty Coffee Association. Beans are evaluated based on factors such as aroma, flavor, acidity, body, and balance. A coffee must score at least 80 out of 100 points to be considered specialty grade.

What are the best brewing methods for Geisha Coffee?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer, as the best brewing method depends on personal preferences and the specific characteristics of the coffee beans. Common methods include pour-over, French press, Aeropress, espresso, and cold brew. Experimenting with different methods can help you find the best way to showcase the unique flavors of Geisha Coffee.

How should I store Geisha Coffee?

To maintain freshness and flavor, store Geisha Coffee in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator or freezer, as temperature fluctuations can negatively affect the taste and quality.

From our exporter partners Beanspire:

"Doi Saket Typica Anaerobic is an experimental process in Thailand. Traditionally, we have focused on a washed process. The specialty movement has brought the knowledge of honey and natural processing during the last couple of years. This year we experimented with the Anaerobic method, which, means fermenting the coffee first in sealed containers, This method maintains the brightness of a traditional washed coffee, but also brings out the sweetness and the body typically found in a natural processed coffee. We performed this experimentation with the farmers Nui and Oi Jaisookseern farm in Doi Saket, Chiang Mai.

The region is the oldest coffee growing area in Thailand, located in Chiang Mai province. Back in the late 1970's, the first Arabica trees that were part of the opiumreplacement program of the Thai King were tested here, and have never been replaced by higher-yield cultivars like in many other regions. As a result, heirloom varietals, particularly Typica, are still commonplace in many old farms. The coffee trees are 30-40 years old, older than the farmers! We want to demonstrate to the farmers that there are people who appreciate and are willing to pay more for the heirloom cultivar to compensate for the lower yield. Typica is now rare as farmers replaced it with higher yield and more rust resistant strands. The region grows coffee from 1000-1500 masl. But we only work with small holders whose farms are 1300+ and have almost all Typica."

This Limited Edition coffee is a special, Direct Trade collaboration with Beanspire Coffee in Thailand and coffee farmers Nui and Oi of Doi Saket.
