Ama Geisha Lilac
The Ama
Project is providing the space to access geisha coffees grown and cherished in
Brazil. Born from the collaboration between World Barista Champion, Sasa
Sestic, and long-term specialty coffee producer of CarmoCoffees, Luiz Paolo,
this project explores how the flavours of geisha can be grown through Brazil,
with the intention of expanding consumer's access to this incredible varietal,
whilst also showcasing how Brazil can grow very special profiles. We are
finding the pearls of the terroir. Project Origin is proud to be partnered with
the Ama Project, providing roasters around the world access to these pearls.
By using
considered and deliberate processing techniques, we can discover the pearls
that exist from marrying the geisha varieties with the terroir of Brazil. These
pearls have always been here, ready for expression. It's our task now to let
them shimmer.
The Ama
Geisha Project is inspired by leading Brazil producer, Luiz Paolo, and coffee
professional, Sasa Sestic, whose 14 year partnership is now focused on the
expansion of specialty, affordable, accessible geishas with iridescent
qualities.
The name
'Ama' is inspired by the Japanese divers, or "sea women", who dive to
collect pearls from the ocean. Most of these divers are women, and so the Ama
Project logo represents them, in symbology of this work: searching for pearls
in the natural environment.
