Nirvana Geisha · Finca Deborah

This exclusive Geisha coffee is very complex, with a syrupy mouthfeel and a deep, lingering aftertaste. We taste sweet peach tarts and lychee with a brown sugar sweetness and lots of fine floral notes.

Perfectly ripe Geisha cherries are stored in hermetically sealed tanks at cool ambient temperatures for prolonged periods in excess of 100 hours. During this time, nitrogen is periodically injected into the tanks to remove any residual oxygen. To ensure consistency, internal and external temperatures and pH are monitored several times a day. The advanced nitrogen maceration natural anaerobic process transforms the whole cherries into a symphony of unique syrupy flavors. The cherries are then slowly dried for up to 30 days on Deborah's three-tier uniform drying system.
