Gori Gesha - Limited (Roast Date 2/27/24)

This week, we have brought back an extremely limited release of the coveted, and sublimely clean natural coffee from Ethiopia: Gori Gesha! 

Established only in 2019, this farm and the Gesha region of Ethiopia is a less popular region among most green coffee buyers, especially when compared to the incredibly popular Yirgacheffe and Guji regions. However, the varieties that grow here are another story — the Gesha 1931 variety is acclaimed worldwide as one of the highest cup quality varieties available, and its sibling, the Gori Gesha variety rivals it in quality, and is one of the oldest known coffee varieties. This variety is produced from semi-wild trees at the esteemed Gesha Village — the same isolated Gesha that was transplanted to Panama in the 1970s.

The Gesha region is a bit warmer than a region like Sidama, and because of that it is very easy for them to dry naturals here, compared to the Bensa region seeing extended times required for drying, slowing down some shipments this year. Because of this, naturals like this one are very clean in the cup, with more florals and citric notes. In this natural we get notes of floral Orange Blossoms and the acidity of fruit jam, a sweetness of a Rosé Wine, and a finish of Cascara.

We have a very limited quantity of both roasted Gori Gesha and Gori Gesha Pure Espresso. 20 bags (250g) of roasted coffee will be reserved for purchase for our online friends, while 18 bottles ofPure Espresso will be available for in-cafe purchase only at our Culver City location! Grab them while supplies last!

This limited batch has been rested for two weeks with the intention of lending to the truest expression of this microlot.
