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. This lot is a sister to the Carbonic Maceration lot, sharing in that 92 hour fermentation length, but no carbon dioxide is added. This lot is also made up of cherries with very high brix reading at 22, brix is the measurement of sugar content and a typical for brix for coffee cherries is around 18. 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.

This is one of the more unique coffees that we bring in every harvest, it’s going to take you for a ride, buckle up and enjoy!
