Description: Established only in 2019, this farm and the Gesha region of Ethiopia is a less popular region among most green coffee buyers, especially when compared to the uber popular Yirgacheffe and Guji regions. The varieties that grow here are another story. The Gesha 1931 variety is acclaimed worldwide as one of the highest cup quality varieties available, and it’s sibling, the Gori Gesha variety rivals it in quality, and is one of the oldest known coffee varieties. This variety has origins in the Gori gesha Forest which is about a 20 minutes away from the farm at this lot comes from. This is a farm owned and operated by our export partner, so the ability to closely manage picking and processing techniques lends itself to what we find in the cup, more on that later. This farm processes any and all types of coffee, from anaerobic and carbonic maceration, to this traditional natural. We brought in only this natural and some of the carbonic maceration, but the carbonic actually pre-sold. This natural lot was dried on raised beds for 17 days before reaching ideal moisture content. The Gesha region is a bit warmer than a region like Sidama, and because of that it is very easy for them to dry naturals here, compared to the Bensa region seeing extended times required for drying, slowing down some shipments this year. Because of this, naturals like this one are very clean in the cup, with more florals and citric notes. In this natural we get notes of floral Orange Blossoms and the acidity of Fresh Orange, a sweet notes of Caramel and Raspberry.

We really hope that you roasters love this one as much as we do, and look forward to coming harvest where we will definitely have more to offer from Gori Gesha Forest.

Love this coffee!!! Super Duper crema!

Love the balanced taste. Roasted medium for espresso. Well balanced and delicious. Saw another review of 1 star claiming this varietal and or region info is misleading? Well, true or not, I like this coffee and it's a great value. Will be buying more.

NOT GORIGESHA FOREST

Dear BODHILEAF,

Whether it is Grade 3 coffee from the markets of gesha or Gesha from Gesha Village, this isn't the Gorigesha forest's gift to the world. Only a lowland varietal of coffee. It would be honorable of you not to use our name 'Gorigesha Forest' without being in the proximity of the Gori mountain range at all. If you are sourcing from a farm parallel to Gori, in the area of "Karmach", please disclose your actual altitudes and true information. You may fool clients today, but google maps does show the total available land in the altitudes you have mentioned which is nowhere near enough to have any form of 'stock-able' yield of gesha in that altitude.

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” Abraham Lincoln.

It is out of stock for the foreseeable future though.

I Love this Coffee, its one of my favorites. Super easy to roast, and when pulling shots it's Crazy Crema !!! Thank you BL for another solid Coffee.

Great delicate coffee!

Very delicious delicate and floral coffee.

Delicate, exotic tea-like coffee

I roasted this to full city roast. Resting it for a week and longer seems to mellow out the fruity flavors to be really enjoyable. It has somewhat bright acidity so ground it coarsely and filter-dripped with 85 C water and the taste was great. It has floral and fruity notes with a tiny bit of citrusy taste yet subtle roundness and sweetness. I felt like I was drinking some expensive tea or something. This bean might be great for someone looking for exotic, off-the-beaten-path coffee experience.
