Coffee Flavor 
The flavors of coffee are derived from the breakdown of various nutrients in the green coffee beans during roasting. Heat causes these compounds to degrade into a variety of aromatic molecular structures, resulting in a wide spectrum of flavors. High-quality coffee beans naturally possess a rich aroma that evolves at different temperatures—high, medium, and low—offering a delightful and nuanced experience worth savoring.

This coffee comes from Nariño, one of Colombia's most renowned specialty coffee regions, and is meticulously processed at the newly established Floral Station. While experimental processing methods such as anaerobic fermentation and other innovative techniques have become increasingly popular, Floral Station demonstrates the remarkable potential of exceptional washed processing. Their meticulous craftsmanship brings out the extraordinary character of Nariño Geisha, allowing the coffee's inherent elegance to shine. Even as green coffee, the beans display the delicate refinement that only a carefully executed washed process can achieve, accompanied by subtle floral aromas. Once roasted, the cup reveals captivating floral fragrances and a bright, elegant acidity that lingers beautifully on the palate.

Located in southwestern Colombia, Nariño lies between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Its diverse microclimates, volcanic soils, and high elevations combine to create a truly distinctive coffee-growing environment. Coffee accounts for nearly 40% of the region's agricultural production, making it one of the most important pillars of the local economy. More than just a coffee-producing region, however, Nariño is home to resilient and passionate farming communities whose dedication to coffee cultivation is reflected in every cup.

Nariño's landscape is as diverse as its climate. Traveling through its mountains and towns reveals breathtaking scenery at every turn, where coffee and the land exist in perfect harmony. Benefiting from its proximity to the Galeras Volcano, the region's mineral-rich volcanic soils provide abundant nutrients for the coffee trees. With elevations ranging from 1,800 to 2,200 meters above sea level, the coffee cherries mature slowly, allowing the beans to develop greater complexity and depth of flavor. Combined with meticulous farming practices, these exceptional terroir conditions give Nariño coffees their signature bright acidity, elegant floral aromatics, and long, lingering sweetness.
 

Arabica Introduction

The coffee tree, botanically classified under the Rubiaceae family and the Coffea subgenus, is an evergreen tree. Coffee beans are the seeds of the coffee fruit. There are three main varieties: Arabica, Robusta, and Liberica. These three varieties cannot crossbreed to produce different subspecies. The world’s specialty coffee comes from the Arabica variety, and within Arabica, there are various subspecies resulting from evolution, hybridization, and mutation.     

Arabica Coffee Variety - Geisha/Gesha

Geisha coffee, once named one of the "World's Top 10 Most Expensive Coffees" by Forbes, is a legendary name in the world of specialty coffee. However, there is significant confusion surrounding the Geisha variety, as several genetically distinct plant types are referred to as Geisha, many of which share a similar geographic origin in Ethiopia. Recent genetic diversity analysis conducted by the World Coffee Research confirms that the T2722 variety cultivated in Panama is both unique and consistent. When well-managed in high-altitude regions, this variety is strongly correlated with exceptional cupping quality and is renowned for its delicate floral aroma, jasmine notes, and peach-like fragrance.
 

The Geisha variety that has thrived in Panama for over 60 years is the T2722 variety. It was originally collected in the 1930s from the coffee forests of Ethiopia. The seeds were sent to the Lyamungu Research Station in Tanzania and later transported to Central America in 1953, where they were documented at the Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE) in Costa Rica under the designation T2722. During the 1960s, it was recognized for its tolerance to coffee leaf rust and was distributed by CATIE across Panama. However, due to its fragile branches, it was not favored by farmers and thus was not widely planted. It wasn’t until 2005, when the Peterson family of Boquete, Panama, entered this coffee into the Best of Panama competition and auction, that the variety gained fame. It received exceptional praise and set a record for green coffee auction prices at the time.

Regarding the name "Geisha," the spellings "Geisha" and "Gesha" are often used interchangeably. This is related to phonetic transliteration, as there is no fixed translation from Ethiopian dialects to English. The variety was originally recorded as "Geisha" in planting records. Over the decades, coffee researchers and cultivation databases maintained this spelling, leading to its widespread promotion and use within the coffee industry. The variety was first collected from a mountain in Ethiopia, the name of which is typically translated into English as either "Gesha" or "Geisha."

In recent years, the cultivation of the Geisha variety has gained popularity worldwide, achieving remarkable success in major coffee competitions. This includes regions in Central and South America such as Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Colombia, and Peru, where the variety has often been transplanted from Panama's T2722. Additionally, Taiwan has also begun cultivating Geisha in many high-altitude regions. Typically, the higher the elevation, the more enchanting the coffee’s flavor becomes.

(Coffee Processes)
The term "processing methods" refers to the process of transforming ripe red coffee cherries into dried green beans. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, influenced by the natural environment and the specific needs of the coffee-producing region. As a result, different regions adopt the processing method most suited to their conditions. This batch uses the following three processing methods, described below:

 

【Washed Process】
Also known as the wet process, this method involves removing the skin and pulp of the coffee cherries before drying. The seeds are then fermented in water tanks to eliminate the remaining mucilage on their surface, followed by thorough washing and drying under sunlight or with mechanical dryers.

The washed process produces a cleaner and crisper flavor profile compared to the natural process. Coffees processed this way typically have lighter body, brighter acidity, and distinct fruit flavors. This method is often associated with specialty coffee due to its clarity and vibrant flavor expression.
