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 and floated, the cherries undergo an anaerobic fermentation in plastic barrels for 46 hours. They are then placed directly on raised African beds to dry for 25 to 30 days. The coffee rests for at least 2 months prior to milling, allowing the profile to fully stabilize and develop complexity.
