What is specialty coffee?

How is specialty coffee different from regular coffee?

Specialty coffee focuses on the quality and unique characteristics of the coffee beans, whereas regular coffee is more about mass production and consistency. Specialty coffee often has distinct flavors, and its beans are graded and scored based on attributes such as aroma, taste, and body.

What is single-origin coffee?

Single-origin coffee refers to coffee beans that are sourced from a single geographical region, farm, or producer. This can highlight the unique characteristics of the coffee beans influenced by the specific climate, soil, and processing methods of that region.

How is Geisha Coffee graded and scored?

Specialty Geisha Coffee is graded and scored using a standardized system developed by the Specialty Coffee Association. Beans are evaluated based on factors such as aroma, flavor, acidity, body, and balance. A coffee must score at least 80 out of 100 points to be considered specialty grade.

Common methods include pour-over, French press, Aeropress, espresso, and cold brew. Experimenting with different methods can help you find the best way to showcase the unique flavors of Geisha Coffee.

Background Info

The northern Province of Chiang Rai is mostly known for its arabica production. Our Doi Pangkhon and Wiang Pa Po lots come from this area of Thailand. There is also some robusta production at the lower elevations on a small scale

We purchased a nice washed robusta lot from Metha Thatib in this are this season and wondered what would happen to the flavor profile of this pleasant but simple coffee if subjected a similar green coffee fermentation process as we developed with our Kona Red wine process.

Rosso Process

A unique green coffee fermentation we have developed in house. The green coffee is first sanitized and then submerged in water and inoculated with wine yeasts. A small amount of sugar is added to give additional food for the yeasts. After fermenting for several days the coffee is re-dried to 11% moisture content. The coffee loses around 15% of its weight in the process and has a reddish/brown hue instead of the usual green color. This coffee requires a very different roast approach than our other coffees. while the exterior bean color may look medium, or even dark the flavors are more reminiscent of a light roast.

*This coffee requires a much finer grind than other coffees or it will pour through too fast.*
