A 12–18 hour dry fermentation, complete shade drying in thin layers for 12–15 days, and a minimum two-month rest before milling produces a cup of exceptional purity and aromatic clarity. In the cup: oolong tea, rose, white peach, blueberry, and jasmine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGesha Village was established after Rachel Samuel and Adam Overton spent years studying Ethiopia's coffee heritage and exploring the forests around Gori Gesha — the region where the Gesha variety first grew wild. Fascinated by the exceptional genetic diversity of these ancient coffees, they selected land at altitude for its favourable climate, fertile soils, and natural coffee ecosystem, establishing the estate in 2012. Today, Gesha Village combines meticulous cultivation with a deep commitment to environmental conservation — large areas of native forest are protected, thousands of indigenous shade trees have been planted, and ongoing genetic research is conducted to better understand and preserve the diversity of Gesha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll coffees from Gesha Village offered through Datura come from the Gesha 1931 selection — originating from wild coffee populations collected near the Gori Gesha forest, closely related to the material gathered during the historic 1931 expedition that ultimately led to the famous Panamanian Gesha. Grown at 1,931–2,040 MASL, these coffees offer a direct connection to the Ethiopian roots of Gesha and the landscapes where its story began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Washed process at Gesha Village involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🍒 Hand-picking — Gesha 1931 cherries carefully harvested at peak ripeness 🔍 Sorting \u0026amp; flotation — Carefully sorted and floated before pulping 🔧 Pulping — Outer skin removed before fermentation 🧪 Dry fermentation — Fermented dry for 12–18 hours to degrade and remove the mucilage layer 💧 Washing — Thoroughly washed after fermentation 🌑 Complete shade drying — Dried slowly in very thin layers entirely in the shade for 12–15 days, minimising cracked parchment and sorting out any defects ⏳ Extended rest — Coffee rests for a minimum of two months before milling, allowing the profile to fully stabilise and develop complexity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complete shade drying and extended rest are the defining steps — drying in very thin layers entirely under shade slows moisture loss with exceptional precision, preserving the delicate aromatic complexity and purity of the Gesha 1931, while the two-month rest allows every nuance of the washed processing to integrate fully before the coffee reaches the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lot of extraordinary provenance and exceptional purity from the estate closest to where Gesha's story began — oolong tea elegance, rose and jasmine florality, white peach sweetness, and a blueberry brightness that speaks of both the extraordinary altitude and the restraint of the washed process.
