The Variety 

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, 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.

Diego (along with Sergio, Juan and Manolo of Desnudo Coffee) recently completed his Specialty Coffee Association grading certification, the highest achievement  for coffee tasters there is!
