Intro:

Tanat is delighted to present Acacia Hills Geisha Washed AB / PB, a refined and elegant expression of Geisha from one of Tanzania’s most prestigious terroirs. This washed lot showcases the distinctive clarity and aromatic finesse of the Geisha variety, delivering a cup that’s both delicate and engaging — ideal for filter brewing.

The Producer:

This coffee comes from Acacia Hills, a farm managed by Leon and Aideen Christianakis in northern Tanzania’s Arusha region, near the iconic Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. Their location on the fertile slopes of Mount Oldeani — at high altitude and with rich volcanic soils — offers ideal conditions for growing specialty coffee. Acacia Hills has built a strong reputation for producing high‑quality microlots year after year, combining careful cultivation with expert processing to highlight Geisha’s unique potential.

The Process:

This lot is prepared using a washed process, a method that accentuates clarity and balance. After meticulous hand‑picking, cherries are depulped and fermented to remove most of the mucilage, then thoroughly washed. The beans are dried with precision at high altitude, ensuring that acidity, sweetness, and varietal character are preserved and articulated in the cup.

The Cup:

In the cup, Acacia Hills Geisha Washed reveals a clean, elegant, and nuanced profile. Bright bergamot 🍊 and fresh citrus 🍋 notes give the coffee a crisp, uplifting acidity, while delicate black tea 🫖 tones add depth and refined structure. The overall experience is subtle yet expressive, with gentle fruit brightness and aromatic complexity that lingers pleasantly.

Overall:

Tanat’s Acacia Hills Geisha Washed AB / PB is a beautiful example of Geisha from East Africa — combining clarity, floral elegance, and citrus brightness into a highly refined filter coffee. Whether you’re exploring Geisha origins or seeking a delicate yet expressive specialty cup, this lot offers an unforgettable tasting experience grounded in both terroir and craftsmanship.
