This Mystic Geisha is a specialty coffee from the Finca El Paraíso farm, located in the Nueva Segovia region of Nicaragua at an altitude of 1500-1650 meters. This Arabica coffee is processed using the carbonic maceration method, which enhances its body and complexity. It features a flavor profile with notes of cocoa, plum, strawberry, and floral undertones. The coffee is characterized by a juicy body and a balanced acidity, making it suitable for both espresso and filter brewing methods.
Piha runs a proper in house roastery tucked behind its main cafe and aims to roast daily so beans leave as fresh as possible. Founder and head roaster Pierre Guérin selects seasonal lots from Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia, Kenya and Indonesia and focuses on letting each origin express itself in either espresso or filter. The roastery won recognition at the Global Coffee Awards and has worked closely with producers such as the Frinsa Estate in West Java on natural process lots. They ship retail bags, run educational workshops and treat coffee selection with the same curiosity you might give a good bottle of wine.
