Gesha Village - Oma Lot 150 - Natural Gesha 1931 (Ethiopia)
The breathtaking landscapes of the western reaches of Ethiopia, is home to Gesha Village Coffee Estate. The 471-hectare coffee farm was built from the ground up by built by Rachel Samuel, Adam Overton and Willem Boot over the last eleven years and is a place that is full of the stunning natural beauty of an ancient, sprawling forest.
This Lot 150 is a Gesha 1931 varietal. Named for the year it was first formally collected by a British botanist from the Gesha village. It is part of their Rarities series and was processed as a Natural. A one-step operation where the beans are dried inside the whole coffee fruit until it reaches a moisture of 11%.
An outstanding coffee that showcases a complex cup with a sweet raspberry jam, and more red fruits like strawberry. As it cools the cup opens with tropical and malic notes reminding us of ripe apricot all encased in an orange blossom, honeysuckle florals.
