This is the original Gesha, the genetic forebear of the Panamanian accession. It takes its name from the village where the variety was first catalogued during a botanical expedition in 1931. Many Geisha lots sold in the U.S. come from Panama, descended from Ethiopian seed but acclimated to Panamanian terroir beginning in the mid-20th century. This lot, however, was grown at the renowned Gesha Village Coffee Estate, near the forest where the variety was first discovered. The founders of Gesha Village, Rachel Samuel and Adam Overton, handpicked seeds from that site to bring the variety to their farm. Meticulous care was taken to harvest only the ripest cherries, which were then sun-dried in their fruit, preserving the flavors unique to this historic terroir.
