It is a tall bush with thin and slender leaves. The distance between branches on the central stem is very wide. The grains are long and thin.
Geisha contains 30% less caffeine than other varieties of Arabica coffee. Geisha production is extremely low, which is why it is difficult to find commercial plantations of this coffee.
