Flavor Description

Faint white florals and citrus peel on the dry aroma; crisp lemon and orange acidity on entry; honey and cane-sugar sweetness through the middle; a light, tea-like body; and a clean finish of soft florals and black tea.

Buying Tips

  • Malawi Geisha: Malawi is one of the few African countries with a long history of growing Geisha; the style is gentler than Panamanian Geisha, with softer florals and a lighter body
  • Region: The northern Mzuzu area and Viphya Plateau sit higher, and smallholders process through cooperatives
  • Production: Malawi grows very little coffee; tobacco and tea are its main cash crops

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Medium-fine grind, 92–93°C, ratio 1:16
  • Tasting: Let it cool to 55–60°C for more pronounced florals and honey sweetness
