Ethiopia Gori Gesha Forest "Wine"
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 uber popular Yirgacheffe and Guji regions. The varieties that grow here are another story. The Gesha 1931 variety is acclaimed worldwide as one of the highest cup quality varieties available. Its sibling, the Gori Gesha variety, rivals it in quality and is one of the oldest known coffee varieties.
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. While the process is similar to the carbonic maceration, in this process cherries are fermented for 96 hours but we exclusively select deep purple cherries that are high in brix around 22. Only oxygen comes out of the barrel with no carbon dioxide added into the fermentation barrel.
