| Description: |
Grown in the Viphya North Hills on the grassland plateau overlooking Lake Malawi, this micro lot is of the Geisha vareital. Geisha is an ancient and very rare coffee variety that has gianed a lot of favour of late. The agronomic yield of Geisha is extremely low, which is why it is so difficult to find commercial plantations of this variety. One of the reasons for its new found popularity is an auction lot that fetched a huge premium, in fact it was the most expenisive coffee ever, which in some areas led to a huge rush to rip out perfectly good plant stock and replace it with a varietal that tends only to work at a higher altitude and in perfect growing conditions.
To find out more about Geisha read here or here but it is enough to say the varietal is very controversial.
The good news about the Msese Geisha Micro Lot is that it has been growing in this location for a very long time at an altitude of 1600m above sea level upwards, and it's great tasting.
In the cup expect the very creamy mouthfeel that you would expect from a great washed African coffee, followed by a delicous tropical fruit burst that pings your mouth with pineapple, apricot and all sorts of summer fruits. Great mouthfeel, great flavours, add to this a great price. It's just great coffee. |
