Overview This Golden Geisha is a nano-lot produced from a small experimental planting at Kona Farm Direct. With only a few pounds produced, it represents one of the most limited coffees released from Kona this year. Compared to traditional red Geisha grown in Kona, this selection shows a brighter, more citrus-driven profile, with flavors leaning toward pineapple, passionfruit, and sweet citrus. Kona Farm Direct Kona Farm Direct is a 6-acre farm located in Holualoa, operated by Kraig Lee, a 30-year industry veteran. In addition to producing coffee, the farm operates a nursery supplying trees to growers across the island. A portion of the farm is dedicated to trial plantings of different varieties. Among these are SL34, Laurina, Typica Mejorado, and Geisha, with select blocks expanded based on performance. Golden Geisha Variety In December 2023, a yellow-fruited tree was identified within a Geisha block at Kona Farm Direct. The fruit showed exceptional sweetness and complexity. Seeds from this tree were used to establish a small trial planting of approximately 50 trees. The first harvest in 2025 yielded only a few pounds of roasted coffee. Early results suggest a distinct profile compared to red Geisha grown at the same farm, with: more vibrant acidity greater citrus expression tropical fruit characteristics Production is expected to increase modestly in the 2026 harvest.
