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?

Common methods include pour-over, French press, Aeropress, espresso, and cold brew.

Background Info

Harvested at Black Rock farms in Kona, a recently planted 10 acre coffee farm overlooking Kealakekua bay.

We believe in constant innovation in the pursuit of improving quality and developing new taste profiles. For the past 3 years Miguel has been cupping experiments of yeast fermented coffees and developed a new process that produces a more intense and complex cup than traditional 'wild' fermentation methods.

Selected yeast and bacteria strains are commonly used in wine and beer production to rapidly dominate over wild strains, some of which may cause negative flavors. Different strains can amplify different flavors and attributes.

For this batch we used a yeast strain that produces Lactic acid instead of Alcohol. This results in an increase in the intensity and complexity of the acidity and a full, cream like mouthfeel.
