The estate was established by \u003cstrong\u003eAdam Overton and Rachel Samuel\u003c\/strong\u003e, who became fascinated with Ethiopian coffee and eventually searched for land suitable for producing exceptional coffee. Their search led them to the Bench Maji area, where they established Gesha Village.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate covers approximately \u003cstrong\u003e471 hectares\u003c\/strong\u003e and is divided into eight distinct farm blocks. Rather than treating the estate as one uniform plantation, Gesha Village separates its coffees by block, allowing differences in elevation, microclimate and growing conditions to remain visible in the final cup. \u003cstrong\u003eOma is the largest block at approximately 67.6 hectares\u003c\/strong\u003e and is planted primarily with the Gesha 1931 variety. The block is named after a respected religious leader of the Mianit people. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Gesha 1931?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGesha 1931 is one of the signature varieties cultivated at Gesha Village. The variety was selected from the diverse genetic population found around the estate and is distinguished from the estate's other major variety, Gori Gesha. Gesha 1931 is particularly associated with the \u003cstrong\u003efloral, tea-like and elegant aromatic character\u003c\/strong\u003e for which Gesha Village has become known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Oma's high elevations, cool temperatures and substantial rainfall encourage slower cherry development. The estate's surrounding forest environment also contributes to a diverse ecosystem. Gesha Village has actively worked to restore native vegetation and integrate coffee cultivation with the surrounding environment rather than treating the farm as a conventional monoculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate has also made considerable effort in \u003cstrong\u003etraceability and environmental stewardship\u003c\/strong\u003e. Each block is separately identified, and the farm maintains internal tracking from cherry collection through processing and export. The supplied farm information also describes reforestation efforts, with native trees planted to restore areas that had previously been cleared. Water conservation and wastewater treatment are likewise part of the estate's processing philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGold Label \/ Rarities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular coffee carries the \u003cstrong\u003eGold Label \/ Rarities\u003c\/strong\u003e designation. This is significant: Gesha Village describes Rarities as representing approximately \u003cstrong\u003e10% of the estate's total production\u003c\/strong\u003e, reserved for its most exceptional coffees outside the auction lots. These coffees are selected for their complexity and rarity and are frequently chosen by internationally competing baristas. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this lot, the combination of \u003cstrong\u003eOma's high elevation, Gesha 1931 genetics, meticulous block separation and Gold Label selection\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it substantially more distinctive than a standard Gesha Village natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNatural Processing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coffee is processed as a \u003cstrong\u003etraditional natural\u003c\/strong\u003e, with whole ripe cherries dried intact on raised African drying beds. The cherries are carefully sorted before drying, and the estate manages the drying environment to encourage slow and even moisture reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe natural process allows the coffee to retain more of the fruit character during drying, which complements the aromatic qualities of Gesha 1931. Gesha Village's official descriptions of Oma coffees commonly highlight floral aromatics alongside peach, apricot, melon, citrus and honey-like sweetness. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this particular lot, the supplied cupping profile of \u003cstrong\u003efloral, berry, grapefruit and plum\u003c\/strong\u003e gives it a slightly deeper fruit direction while retaining the floral identity expected from Oma Gesha 1931.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":50508909019329,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/5831\/8785\/files\/Copyof_New_Productimage_59.png?v=1786544636","url":"https:\/\/decryptcoffee.com\/products\/ethiopia-gesha-village-oma-rarities-gesha-1931","provider":"Decrypt Coffee (807677)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
