Geisha - Lot #5 | Adventurous | Wash - Anaerobic | Green tea, peach, smoky wood

Gesha Coffee

The Gesha variety is renowned for its exquisite floral aromas of jasmine and peach. Originating from Ethiopia’s forests, it gained international acclaim in 2005 after winning multiple competitions in Panama. Named after the Gesha region in Ethiopia, this variety is highly sought after for its exceptional quality, despite its lower yield. It features tall plants, large cherries, and is best grown at high altitudes.

The Producer: Diego

Diego, one of the youngest coffee farmers at just 28, inherited his coffee profession from his father, Martín. Together, they’ve explored various experimental processes to enhance coffee quality. Recently, they've added exotic varieties like Pacamara and Pink Bourbon to their offerings. Supporting young producers like Diego is important to us, especially as many young people move from rural areas to cities for better opportunities.

The Process

We start with a meticulous hand harvest to ensure ripe cherries for a sweeter, cleaner flavor. The cherries undergo a three-day fermentation with the whole fruit, followed by a second 72-hour anaerobic fermentation after removing the skin. Finally, the coffee is washed and dried slowly in the shade on solar drying beds for 20 to 30 days
