Guatemala Anaerobic Geisha Coffee is an exceptional and rare variety that captures the exquisite complexity of Geisha beans combined with the unique depth of anaerobic processing. This single-origin coffee comes from the esteemed Finca La Hermosa, a family estate nestled in the Acatenango region of Guatemala. At altitudes exceeding 5,000 feet, the mineral-rich volcanic soil and microclimate of the estate provide ideal conditions for cultivating world-class coffee.

Finca La Hermosa is proudly owned and operated by Max and Claudia Pérez, whose dedication to quality and sustainable practices shines through every bean. For their Anaerobic Geisha, only the ripest cherries are handpicked and undergo a meticulously controlled anaerobic fermentation process. This involves fermenting the cherries in oxygen-free environments to develop bold, complex flavors. The coffee is then carefully dried on raised beds to preserve its remarkable profile.

Guatemala Geisha Coffee History and Processing

Guatemala Geisha is a very unique type of coffee with several distinguishing properties that make it special. The term Geisha comes from the Ethiopian town of Gesha, where the coffee plant originated. Geisha Coffee is different in appearance, it is naturally resistant to some diseases and the beans are long and slender. The crop yield of this type of Coffee plant is meager, which is why it is so difficult to find commercial plantations and production of this coffee. There are different varieties of Geisha Coffee since they are the plant seedlings from the original plant in Ethiopia that have been exported. Geisha Coffee varieties can be found in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Peru. While many factors influence how plants grow and how the fruit that they bear may develop, the local coffee plantations give each crop a unique characteristic and flavor.
