Soft, sweet, and deeply floral. In the cup: apricot and orange blossom.\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 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. 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 Natural process at Gesha Village involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🍒 Hand-picking — Gesha 1931 cherries carefully sorted after harvest 🔍 Sorting \u0026amp; flotation — Sorted and floated to ensure only the finest cherries proceed ☀️ Raised African bed drying — Whole cherries dried on raised beds, turned regularly — up to eight times per day — and continuously monitored throughout ⏳ Extended rest — Dried to 11% moisture content and rested before milling to allow the profile to fully stabilise\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe meticulous raised-bed drying and patient pre-milling rest are the defining steps — careful, frequent turning ensures even drying throughout, while the extended rest allows the natural fruit character to integrate fully, producing the soft apricot sweetness and orange blossom florality that define this lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft, sweet, and beautifully floral natural Gesha 1931 from the estate at the heart of the variety's origin story — warm passion fruit sweetness with a delicate florality in a cup - exceptional purity and gentle complexity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e🍋 Passionfruit • 🍒 Cranberry • 🌸 Florals\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bluebird Coffee","offers":[{"title":"100g \/ June 12th","offer_id":58105073369462,"sku":"BB-GESHA-VILLAGE-GESHA-1931-NATURAL-JUN12","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/WhatsApp_Image_2026-06-17_at_11.43.10-cropped.jpg?v=1781691745","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/products\/bluebird-coffee-gesha-village-25-006","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
