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:

In 2010 Miguel was tasked with selecting varieties to plant at a new high elevation field being planted by Hula Daddy Farm in Kona. One of the varieties selected was the Mokka Variety from the Hawaii Agricultural Research Center on Oahu. These trees came from Dr. Medina of Campinas, Brazil. This Mokka is a dwarf mutation of the Red Bourbon variety. the beans are tiny, about the size of lentils, and the leaves of the plant are much smaller and narrower than other varieties of Arabica. Production is low on this variety, but once the trees came of bearing age it was obviously a variety of extraordinary cup quality.

With seeds from the trees at Hula Daddy Farm, Kraig Lee of Kona Farm Direct began growing Mokka plants in his nursery several years ago. In 2022 these trees produced their first harvest. These cherries were processed using our champagne natural method and submitted to the 2022 Kona Coffee Festival cupping competition where the coffee took 1st place!

These trees are now a little older and the cup quality is even better.
