Geisha is one of the most sought after varietals in the coffee world. It is a hybrid variety of the Arabica plant family and often obtains very high cupping scores. Geisha is not an easy plant to cultivate. It requires a certain altitude, photosynthesis is not as efficient, and you have to pick a perfect time to harvest the beans.
