Farm and Producer
Condor Ridge Ranch in Goleta, California, is where Jay Ruskey began planting coffee with UC farm adviser Mark Gaskell in 2002. That work helped establish the grower network that became FRINJ Coffee. The ranch's coastal setting supports Gesha and other Arabica varieties well north of coffee's usual tropical growing regions.
Variety
Gesha, also spelled Geisha, is an Arabica variety with Ethiopian origins. It is valued for high cup-quality potential and floral aromatics, especially under suitable high-elevation growing conditions. Its expression also depends on cultivation, processing, and roasting.
Processing
In washed processing, the fruit pulp and remaining mucilage are removed before the coffee is dried. This approach often emphasizes a defined structure and separation of flavors, while fermentation and drying choices still influence the result.
