如果你是咖啡迷,對藝伎咖啡(Geisha)定不感到陌生。
如果你初踏進精品咖啡的世界,就要了解一下這個傳奇咖啡品種。
名爲藝伎咖啡(Geisha),是來自日本的嗎?其實這種咖啡與日本藝伎文化丁點兒關係也沒有,只因爲這個咖啡品種原名叫Gesha/Geisha,與日本藝伎發音相似,因此譯成藝伎咖啡。而臺灣人或會稱之爲瑰夏咖啡。
Geisha原是一種生長在埃塞俄比亞西南部的野生咖啡品種,1963年給帶到巴拿馬Boquete區的咖啡莊園去,由於產量不佳而且樹種較高,因此種植在咖啡莊園旁邊作防風林。
2004年,是改變Geisha命運的一年。
那一年咖啡莊園的兒子爲了參加全國咖啡大賽,遍尋莊園裏的咖啡樹來測試,結果意外發現了Geisha。
在比賽之中,Geisha憑著強烈複雜的風味一舉奪冠,一鳴驚人,其中一位評判形容爲God in a cup,之後更連續4年稱冠。
在拍賣場上,Geisha亦打破不少高價記錄。
相比起巴拿馬典型的咖啡風味,藝伎鮮明的特色令人留下深刻印象,充滿茉莉花般的香氣,帶有橘子、檸檬和蜂蜜的果酸和甜味,口感乾淨輕柔。
微酸不苦,充滿花果香氣,難怪有人形容爲不像咖啡的咖啡了。

What is geisha coffee? Is it something related to Japan? Actually it has no connection with Japanese traditional entertainers geisha. Geisha/Gesha is a particular coffee varietals, like bourbon, pacamara, typica etc. It is an original variety that was discovered in the 1930s in the Southwestern town of Gesha, Ethiopia.
Geisha made its spotlight ‘arrival’ to the world in 2004 as the varietal that took the prize at the Best Of Panama (BOP) competition. Daniel Peterson of Hacienda La Esmeralda presented them to the international panel and it astonished coffee professionals and was pronounced “God in a cup”。 Since then, the price of Geisha coffee continued to rise up every year.
Geisha coffee is an extremely aromatic coffee that you can find the sweet floral, citrus blossom, jasmine and sweet honey fragrances.
