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

This Gesha is honey processed, with the cherry skins removed and some of the fruit’s sticky mucilage retained during drying. Its tasting notes bring together sparkling rose, stone fruit, and florals.
