      Pluma Hidalgo lot 7 - Geisha [honey] — Mexico

      This lot was grown by small-holder farmers in the village of Pluma Hidalgo, located in Sierra Madre del Sur, Oaxaca. The village is high in the mountains surrounded by rain-forest. Coffee is the main crop here, most villagers have some trees growing on their property. This lot was processed by the honey process, on the same day the cherries are harvested, they're sorted for over/under-ripe cherries, de-pulped then spread out on raised beds to dry. Due to some coffee cherry flesh remaining on the beans, riper fruit flavours are developed along with increased sweetness.

      In 1931 a British ambassador picked a selection of coffee berries in Southwest Ethiopia near a town called Gesha. In 1932 the seeds were sent to Kenya, then in 1936 seedlings were sent to Uganda & Tanzania. In the mid 50's seeds were sent to Costa Rica where trials began. In 1963 Don Pachi Serracin brought some seeds to Panama, but attempts to grow Geisha were axed due to poor taste...[most likely caused by growing the plants at too low an altitude]. Geisha was then forgotten about until in 2002 Daniel Peterson decided to cup coffee from different parts of the farm & came across this extraordinary coffee we know as Geisha.
