Roaster’s Note
This year’s harvest from Gori Gesha is as wonderful as ever. In the cup we found a clean, floral profile with abundant berries, peach-like sweetness, and bright bergamot—a standout natural-processed Wild Gesha. A must-have for fruit-forward coffee lovers.
About this lot
Ethiopia is the birthplace of Gesha. The Gesha cultivated in Ethiopia isn’t the same genetic line as Panama Geisha. In Ethiopia, “Gesha” commonly refers to three selections:
- Gori Gesha (GG): selections replicated from the genetic diversity found in the Gori Gesha coffee forest.
- Illubabor Forest 1974 (IF): discovered during a 1974 survey in the Illubabor forest and later developed by Ethiopia’s agricultural research center for disease resistance.
- Gesha 1931 (G31): forest selections named for their plant characteristics, bean appearance/screen size, and cup profile—very similar sensorially to Panama Geisha.
