Located in the Bench Maji region of Ethiopia, Gesha Village is one of the most renowned coffee estates in the world and plays a vital role in preserving the origins of the Gesha variety.The project began in 2007, when Rachel Samuel and Adam Overton were studying Ethiopia's coffee heritage and exploring the forests around Gori Gesha. Fascinated by the exceptional genetic diversity of these wild coffees, they later established Gesha Village on land selected for its altitude, favorable climate, fertile soils, and natural coffee ecosystem.All the coffees from Gesha Village come from the Gesha 1931 selection, originating from wild coffee populations collected near the Gori Gesha forest, closely related to the material gathered during the historic 1931 expedition that led to the famous Panamanian Gesha.Carefully sorted after harvest, the cherries are dried whole on raised African beds, turned up to 8 times per day and monitored until reaching 11% moisture content — typically 25 to 30 days. The coffee then rests for at least 2 months prior to milling.
