This Geisha coffee is sourced from the Iris Estate in the Volcán region of Panama, grown at an altitude between 1,850 and 2,300 meters. Processed using a Carbonic Maceration Natural method, the cherries are fermented in CO2-pressured tanks before drying on raised beds. This process results in a vibrant cup with a flavor profile featuring notes of orange, apricot, and honey. It is roasted to a medium-light level, offering a complex and approachable experience suitable for both espresso and filter brewing methods.
Ghostbird Coffee was founded by Thomas Ooi in Kuala Lumpur in 2015 with a mission to advance specialty coffee culture in Malaysia. Ooi built the roastery around a Giesen W6A drum roaster, roasting fresh daily and resting all beans for three days before dispatch to ensure peak flavor. The company serves as both a roaster and an educational hub, offering public cuppings and coffee appreciation classes that have earned it a reputation as a school of specialty coffee. Ghostbird is a founding partner of the Good Coffee Festival and has hosted the Malaysia AeroPress Championship since 2023. Single origin offerings and espresso blends are developed with an emphasis on responsible sourcing and transparency.
