From the slopes of Mount Oldeani, near the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, comes this washed Geisha from Acacia Hills, one of the most prestigious estates in Tanzania and a constant reference in the Arusha region.

Grown between 1,800 and 1,925 meters, this Geisha stands out for its refined and smooth profile. The washed process maintains its clarity and purity, revealing elegant layers of bergamot, bright citrus, and a serene finish reminiscent of black tea.

The estate, managed by Leon and Aideen Christianakis, is renowned for its consistency and quality. The head roaster visited Acacia Hills in September 2024 to taste and select these microlots—a handcrafted process that is reflected in every cup: clean, precise, and deeply balanced.

A filter for those seeking a sober, floral and sophisticated Geisha, with a silky structure and a perfectly integrated medium acidity.
