This exceptional Geisha coffee is cultivated in the highlands of Boquete, Panama, from Hacienda La Esmeralda, a 2024 auction lot. It features the Green Tip Geisha variety, prized for its elegant floral aromatics and tea-like body. The coffee uses a rare Cool Fermented Washed processing method with Climate Controlled Drying, which brings out vibrant acidity and clarity while maintaining remarkable balance. Flavor notes include jasmine, white peach, bergamot, and clean florals, with stone fruit sweetness and a complex, refined profile.
lonich opened in Tokyo in 2023, founded by Ryosuke Maruyama and Tatsumi Niizato, who first bonded over coffee while studying at Kwansei Gakuin University. The roastery sources specialty beans from global auctions and conducts direct imports from Yunnan Province in China, building relationships with local farms and exporters. lonich operates as an omakase style tasting destination rather than a traditional walk in shop, offering curated coffee courses that guide guests through carefully sequenced cups. The philosophy centers on revealing hidden flavors and dimensions in each bean through precise, artisan roasting, grounded in the belief that quality is determined at harvest and honored through process.
