Today it commands premium prices globally — but \u003cstrong\u003eKona Geisha is in a category of its own\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn March 2015, farm owner Doug McKenna imported Geisha seeds directly from Finca La Milagrosa in Boquete, Panama. In February 2018, he planted 2,000 trees on slopes overlooking Kealakekua Bay in North Kona at 850 masl. The 2020 harvest was the first commercial-scale lot, and we began working with Doug immediately on yeast fermentation trials using a dozen different wine yeast strains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe found that some wine yeast strains pair beautifully with Geisha's inherent tropical aromatics, amplifying fruity and floral ester production and elevating the cup beyond what natural process alone achieves. The result: a Kona Geisha coffee with the floral transparency of Panama Geisha, the terroir of Kona's volcanic soils, and a layer of fermentation complexity you won't find anywhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2026 Lot 1 — Champagne Natural\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest: March 30, 2026.\u003c\/strong\u003e This lot used our single-inoculant champagne yeast protocol with low-temperature dehumidified drying — citrus and passionfruit-forward, delicate and precise.

This controlled process produces greater consistency and distinct flavor profiles, enhancing complexity while highlighting the coffee's natural terroir. The \"champagne\" designation reflects both the yeast type and the light, effervescent quality it brings to the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKona Geisha Coffee — Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes Geisha coffee different from other varieties?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoffea arabica var. Geisha is a distinct genetic variety, not a processing style. It's known for an unusually transparent, jasmine-floral aromatic profile and vibrant tropical fruit acidity that other arabica varieties can't replicate. It's also significantly lower-yielding per tree — a key reason it commands premium pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is Kona Geisha so rare?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeisha was only introduced to Hawai'i in 2015, with the first commercial harvest in 2020. There are currently fewer than a handful of farms in the state growing true Geisha. Combined with Kona's limited growing area and the variety's inherently low yield, total annual production is extremely small — typically a few hundred pounds per farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from other geisha coffees?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost Geisha is washed or standard natural process. Our champagne natural adds controlled yeast fermentation that heightens ester production while retaining the variety's floral transparency. The Kona terroir — volcanic soils, afternoon cloud cover, slow cherry maturation at 850 masl — adds a mineral richness you won't find in Panama or Ethiopian Geisha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the best brewing method?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePour-over and cold brew both excel. For pour-over, use water at 93–95°C, medium-fine grind, 1:15 ratio. The floral and fruit notes peak at slightly lower temperatures. For cold brew, use a 1:8 ratio steeped 14–16 hours refrigerated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this 100% Kona coffee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.

This year at Auction the Mokkita received the highest price ever paid for a non-geisha variety coffee from anywhere in the world: $400\/lb of green coffee! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In 2004 after the 'Discovery' of the Geisha\/Gesha variety from Hacienda La Esmeralda that won that year's Best of Panama Competition, Jose David Garrido of Mama Cata estate went looking through the trees in his farm for plants that looked unusual and might produce an excellent cup. One plant he found had very small cherries and they called it Mokkita. The following year they had a small sample harvested from this tree cupped by Japanese coffee buyer Mamoru Taguchi. Based on the positive feedback they decided to use the next harvested for seed. The first place they planted the trees didn't take well. Believing this to be a Mokka variety from Yemen, they next decided to try planting in a drier area at 1550-1600m with different soil that might be more similar to the environment there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn January 2022 we sent samples of this coffee to RD2 in France for genetic testing to get a better idea of it's background. The results suggest it is a hybrid of a Bourbon* type variety  and Geisha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Many plants called Mokka are a dwarf hybrid from Bourbon and cannot be distinguished from Bourbon, or other mutants from bourbon such as Caturra, or Laurina. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost likely Geisha and a Mokka type plant at Mama Cata crossed at some point in time and resulting in this unique (and delicious) cultivar on their farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey now have about 2 hectares (5 acres) of Mokkita planted. Mokkita is a very low yielding plant.

In 1952-1953 PG Sylvain collected seeds from plants in several areas of Ethiopia including Kaffa to send back to USDA. Some of these varieties like S.6 Cioiccie we have been able to offer from Coffea Diversa before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The varieties he collected and dozens of other varieties selected by plant breeders in different countries were distributed to coffee regions around the world by USDA in 1955. CTAHR in Kealakekua, Kona, Hawaii received seeds of this variety at that time. S.12 Kaffa showed resistance to coffee leaf rust and was of interest to coffee breeders in the 1960's and 1970s as coffee leaf rust spread across the americas in the following decades. Leaf Rust did not reach Hawaii at this time, but researchers at University of Hawaii found that it showed some tolerance against root know nematodes, which had become a problem in the Kona region reducing farm yields. Despite these strengths S.12 Kaffa has never been planted commercially anywhere in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI became aware of it in 2008, while searching through the coffea collection at CTAHR for varieties that might have the potential for excellent cup quality to plant at a then new farm called Hula Daddy. The only  variety in the collection from Southwest Ethiopia, a region i knew at the time where the geisha variety was from, I felt it may have potential. The trees in the original collection at Kealakekua were in rough shape and not producing many cherries, but there is a replica of the collection on Oahu at HARC Maunawili. In 2009 when I traveled to HARC where we collected seeds of SL34, Mokka, and Laurina\/Bourbon Pointu varieties to plant at Hula Daddy I also collected a handful of seeds of the S.12  Kaffa seeds at this time. Unfortunately Hula Daddy decided not to plant them. A planted 6 of the seedlings in a shady spot at Rusty's Hawaiian farm in Ka'u, but sadly wild coffees sprouted up around them and it was impossible to identify which were the Kaffa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI never had a chance to taste this variety until 2017 when Juli Burden sent me a sample of it harvested from the 1 tree in Maunawili. Maunawili is a very low altitude location, but this sample showed excellent complexity and many flavors in common with other Ethiopian landrace varieties: citrus, ginger, flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI asked Juli to get me a few seeds from this tree to try planting once again. Once these sprouted I entrusted 4 of them to the care of Kraig Lee of Kona Farm direct who by now was growing plants for farmers of many of the other other varieties I had selected for Hula Daddy years ago. SL34, K7, Laurina, Mokka. Once these trees produced fruit I asked Kraig to try planting some up at Noelani Farm next to the geisha trees he was planting there at the time. 50 plants of Kaffa were placed at the very top of the farm at 2500ft in 2021. Leaf Rust finally came to Kona in 2020, and since then we have seen that the Kaffa plants are seemingly resistant to the strain of leaf rust we have here. As well as nearly as productive as Catuai, and far more vigorous in growth than geisha. But how would it taste at high altitude?  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn April 2024 we finally could find out. It did not disappoint. the lime zest and ginger notes that I tasted before in this variety ( and find often times in other Ethiopian Landraces like Sidra) were there. The mouthfeel and acidity were excellent. A coffee as special and unique as I had hoped. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then we have been slowly collecting the harvests every few weeks.
