Coffee from Rachel's and Adam's farm in the jungle of western Ethiopia has found its way to the world stage numerous times, and for good reason. It is considered a \"bucket list\" coffee offering for many roasters around the world. And we here at Black \u0026amp; White have had the tremendous privilege of roasting coffee from Gesha Village Estate on numerous occasions, both for world barista competitors AND for all of you at home - and we do not take that privilege lightly.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEET THE PRODUCER |\u003c\/strong\u003e Many of you probably already know their story, but a short synopsis still bears repeating here: the Gesha Village project started as an effort by Rachel Samuel and Adam Overton to document native, wild coffee species growing in the Gori Gesha Forest in the Bench Maji zone, where the Gesha variety originated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast forward eight years, and the couple found themselves searching for the perfect piece of land on which to build the coffee farm of their dreams. They found that dream realized not far from that renown Gori Gesha forest they first visited in 2007. Today, the estate has grown to over 700,000 coffee trees and 30,000 native shade trees. With the partnership of the local Meanit Shasha Woreda people, the Gesha Village project has returned the value surrounding the name, \"Gesha\" back to the forests where the coffee first descended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUST THE PROCESS |\u003c\/strong\u003e This naturally processed coffee first underwent rigorous hand-sorting to ensure that only the ripest, highest quality cherries remained. Then, the whole cherries were placed on raised beds to dry in the sun until they reached 11% moisture content. During this time, the cherries were consistently turned to ensure even drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAKE A SIP | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eYou'll normally find Gesha Village coffees under our black label releases, so we are thrilled to offer this particular lot at a price point which makes it accessible to more folks! Although still \u003cem\u003every \u003c\/em\u003eEthiopian and \u003cem\u003every \u003c\/em\u003eGesha-like, this coffee is slightly less intense than what we might expect coming out of Gesha Village. It's still very floral and pleasantly acidic, like bergamot. The fruit notes are understated and lovely, like peaches and pears. And, like any good Gesha, it's still balanced and sweet, notably reminiscent of sipping black tea that's been sweetened with honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e___________________________________________________________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin |\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBench Maji Zone, Gesha, Ethiopia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer |\u003c\/strong\u003e Adam Overton, Rachel Samuel, \u0026amp; Willem Boot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarm |\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Gesha Village\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess |\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety |\u003c\/strong\u003e Gesha 1931 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElevation |\u003c\/strong\u003e 1909 - 2063 masl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":50619273904441,"sku":"BWSO-GeV-1510","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz","offer_id":50619273937209,"sku":"BWSO-GeV-1512","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":50619273969977,"sku":"BWSO-GeV-1502","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":50619274002745,"sku":"BWSO-GeV-1505","price":221.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2988\/2574\/files\/GeshaVillageLot115_2025Online_4x_695234c9-3893-4ad5-83fd-e933680cc460.png?v=1744144762","url":"https:\/\/www.blackwhiteroasters.mom\/products\/r-gesha-village-lot-115","provider":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
