Nueva Granada is located in the department of San Marcos in northwestern Guatemala, on the Pacific Ocean
along the western Guatemala-Mexico border. The climate is very variable within the department due to the
dramatic differences in altitude. The Geisha variety of Arabica originated in Ethiopia and only recently has been
produced in Guatemala on a very limited basis for the specialty coffee market. This variety only produces about
a fifth of what normal, modern variety coffee trees produces. Recent prices paid for this variety make up for
the additional costs so there are several farms producing this variety again in small volumes. The Geisha coffee
plant is easily recognizable as it has sparse branches that point upward. Currently the majority of Nueva Granada's Geisha coffee is sold to Japan, so we are extremely fortunate to offer this rare gem here in the USA!
Only sold in whole bean format to preserve freshness.
