How it compares to the others

Compared with other coffees in the Valle Andino lineup, Geisha sits at the most delicate and expressive end of the flavour spectrum.
• It is more floral and aromatic than Sidra, which has a brighter tropical fruit character.
• It is lighter and more refined than Típica Nacional or Típica Mejorado, which offer broader sweetness and balance.
• The sample pack lets you taste these differences side by side if you’re unsure which style you prefer.

Best brew methods

To highlight Geisha’s refined aromatics and clarity:
• Pour over (V60, Kalita, Chemex) to accentuate fragrance and bright notes.
• Aeropress with a gentle grind and controlled extraction to balance body and acidity.
• Light espresso dial-in when you want a concentrated, aromatic shot.
