Datura - Gesha Village Lot 26/E-25 Surma Mossto Anaerobic Honey

This collaboration is a special one for us. Our friendship with Ella and Flo goes back long before the creation of Clove and Datura, and it has been a pleasure to watch our respective projects grow over the years. Since its opening, Clove has established itself as one of the leading coffee destinations in Paris. For this collaboration, we selected this beautiful lot from Gesha Village.Located in the Bench Maji region of Ethiopia, Gesha Village is one of the most renowned coffee estates in the world. All the coffees we offer 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.After multiple rounds of washing and flotation to isolate only the densest ripe red cherries, the coffee is hydrated in clean cold water before pulping with 100% mucilage retention. The pulped beans are then added to 200L plastic barrels with house-produced mossto and fermented anaerobically for 84 hours.The coffee first spends 3 days under direct sunlight before drying slowly under shade for a total of 15 to 18 days to reach 11% moisture content. It then rests for at least 3 months prior to milling.
