Not stated

country, region, farm or estate, producer, altitude, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from

Variety

“While most famous for its tea, Alishan has steadily gained attention for its unique and high-quality coffee, particularly its fantastic Geisha production.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

The region’s high altitude and micro-climate are ideal for growing Geisha coffee, which contribute to the bean’s tea-like qualities and quintessential floral and fruity notes, sometimes compared to Assam or jasmine tea… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Processing

“This outstanding honey processed Geisha placed 5th in Taiwan’s 2024 Cup of Excellence awards, a shining example of the quality Geisha coffee that Taiwan is becoming known for.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Tasting notes

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
