Tasting notes

In the roaster’s words

Country of Origin: Ethiopia Variety: Gori Gesha Process: Semi-Anaerobic Honey Altitude: 1926-2069 mASL Gesha Village is internationally renowned, and for good reason - the coffee they produce is consistently world-class. The estate is a 471-hectare coffee farm, built by Rachel Samuel, Adam Overton and Willem Boot, in Bench Maji, Ethiopia. Over 8 different blocks, each with their own characteristics, they produce 3 different varieties, Gori Gesha, Illubabor Forest and Gesha 1931. This lot is part of their growers reserve range, which are special micro-lots accounting for 15% of Gesha Villages production. It is from the Shaya block where they grow variety called Gori Gesha. These seeds were harvested in 2011 through Gesha Villages own expedition. This original heirloom variety replicates the genetic diversity within the Gori Gesha forest, the so called "birth place" of all gesha. This specific lot was processed as Semi-Anaerobic honey, which gives it intense candied like fruit notes, but also plenty of vibrancy and brown sugar like sweetness. In the cup we find notes of Apple, Caramel and Chocolate
