Gesha – A Symphony of Elegance and Complexity
Sourced from the high-altitude slopes of Colombia's lush coffee-growing regions, this exquisite Gesha (also spelled Geisha) variety is a celebration of nuance, precision, and terroir. Cultivated at elevations ranging from 1,800 to 2,100 meters above sea level, this lot benefits from cool mountain air, volcanic soils, and careful hand-harvesting techniques—resulting in a cup that is both sophisticated and deeply expressive.
From the first moment the aroma greets you, this Gesha distinguishes itself with delicate floral aromatics reminiscent of jasmine and honeysuckle. These fragrant notes are not merely an introduction—they linger in the air and on the palate, offering a gentle reminder of the varietal’s Ethiopian heritage and the artisanal care behind its cultivation.
The cup opens with a bright yet refined acidity, where vibrant lemongrass takes center stage. Its citrusy zing adds a refreshing, almost effervescent quality that lifts the profile without overwhelming it. This zesty character seamlessly transitions into the calming warmth of black tea, grounding the experience with its soft, tannic structure and silky mouthfeel.
Clean and structured, the finish is long and elegant, leaving behind whispers of bergamot and sweet herbs. The balance between floral brightness and tea-like depth makes this Colombian Gesha a favorite among those who seek clarity, complexity, and a contemplative drinking experience.
Each sip tells a story—of high-altitude farms, meticulous processing, and the magic that happens when nature and craftsmanship align. Whether brewed as a pour-over to highlight its aromatic complexity or prepared with a siphon for a fuller body, this Gesha offers an extraordinary journey through flavor.
This is more than coffee—it’s a sensory experience. A cup that invites you to pause, to appreciate, and to rediscover what makes specialty coffee truly special.
