MEXICAN GESHA COFFEE ROASTED WHOLE BEANS 16 OZ BAG
Geisha coffee, which is actually “Gesha” coffee, falls in the category of what one would call the most “expensive coffee.” Gesha is grown at high elevation, which we all know is ideal, on the tallest mountain in some Mexican States like Chiapas and Veracruz. There’s a certain difficulty in harvesting this bean, too, which certainly factors in, but any bean grown at high elevation can claim the same. It’s a low-yielding variety, which immediately tacks some extra dough on the price tag — it’s a classic supply and demand issue.
The true claim to fame for the Gesha varietal is most certainly the lusciously floral aroma and complex fruity flavor, which sounds entirely drool-worthy to me but let’s keep in mind that it may not be everyone’s cup of tea.
