Ethiopia Gesha Village Gold Label 1931 Oma #160
Gesha Village Coffee Estate is a 471 hectare farm in West Omo, southwestern Ethiopia, established by Adam Overton, Rachel Samuel and Willem Boot. The estate is divided into eight blocks and grows three main gesha populations, Gesha 1931, Gori Gesha and Illubabor Forest. Each block is separately tracked for variety, origin and processing.
Gesha 1931 is a selected population from the genetically diverse Gori Gesha forest. Unlike Gori Gesha, which preserves the broader genetic diversity of the original forest, Gesha 1931 was selected for its closer resemblance to Panamanian Gesha, based on plant morphology, bean shape and size, and cup profile. The selection represents a more defined expression of the Gesha genetics found in the Gori forest, with the name referring to the 1931 expedition associated with its documentation.
This coffee is roasted to a filter profile, developed on the lighter spectrum. We recommend enjoying it after resting for a minimum of 14 days post roast. This encourages more even extraction, bringing clarity and balance to the cup. Flavours become most expressive around the fifth week, and some denser coffees continue to improve with extended rest, reaching a deeper, smoother character after up to two months.
