This California Geisha is grown at Rancho Arroyo Alamar along the Gaviota Coast. The coffee is produced by FRINJ and benefits from a unique climate with cool Pacific mornings and warm afternoons, allowing for a slow 10-11 month maturation. It is a washed coffee that undergoes yeast inoculation and a 72-hour cold fermentation. The flavor profile features delicate notes of plumeria, orange blossom, blueberry, and brown sugar, offering an elegant, silky, and tea-like experience.
Founded in 2002 by R. Miguel Meza in Minnesota, Paradise Coffee Roasters relocated to Hilo, Hawaii in 2008 to work directly with local farmers and root the business in origin. The roastery operates a Diedrich IR12, utilizing equipment known for precision and control in capturing the nuanced flavors of specialty coffee. Coffees have consistently achieved exceptional ratings from Coffee Review, with more than 100 coffees scoring between 93 and 97 points and an impressive five year average of 94 points. The selection specializes in Hawaiian coffees from Kona and Ka'u regions alongside carefully selected producers from Panama, Jamaica, and Vietnam.
