GESHA VILLAGE NATURAL ANAEROBIC GORI GESHA SHAYA 22/E-10

Tiny Arms is so excited to be offering our first Gesha! Since freshness is so important to our tiny team (and these beans are pretty special) we put them right in the archival freezer once roasted to keep these AFAP (as fresh as possible). As if these beans weren't already special these come in a  reusable limited edition Tiny Arms tin featuring a one way valve so all your future beans can stay fresh in style. 

Gesha Village is one of the most cherished coffee producers on the planet with 471-hectares in the Bench Maji zone of Ethiopia, nearby the town of Gesha and the Gori Gesha forest, the birthplace of the Gesha variety.

Owned and operated by Adam Overton, Rachel Samuel and Willem Boot, this project was started in 2007 and has quickly developed to be an idolized producer in the specialty coffee world. With ~320 hectares planted of Gesha 1931, Gori Gesha and Illubabor Forest varieties, throughout 8 different zones that correlate with unique terroir.

A mixed system of agroforesty practices are utilized, with mostly natural forests providing shade and introducing the coffee to a diverse wildlife and flora, which provide a symbiotic system of organisms. The soil is brown-red loamy and virgin forest.

This lot comes from the Shaya block, which is named after the tribal leader of the Meanit people. This lot is Gori Gesha, which is which is fermented for 82 hours, whole cherry in a sealed plastic tank. The coffee is dried for 26 days in raised beds under the sun.
