Ethiopia - Gesiga

This lot is sourced from Gigesa village in Ethiopia’s renowned
Oromia region, this exceptional coffee is cultivated by
a community of 500 dedicated producers. Each of these
smallholder farmers typically manages an average of one
hectare of land, where they meticulously grow heirloom coffee
varieties using organic practices. This commitment to quality
not only yields outstanding coffee but also plays a vital role in
the economic prosperity of the region.

These farms are located between 1,850 and 2,100 m.a.s.l, the region’s altitude provide the ideal microclimate for developing the coffee’s complex and distinctive fl avorprofi le. Coffee farmers transport their cherries to the Gigesa station, Once the coffee arrives at the station, pre-sorting of the cherries is performed. The team carefully hand-sorts them, selecting only perfectly ripe ones and removing any unripe, overripe, or foreign material. Afterwards, the cherries are floated in water.

Low-density, imperfect coffee is removed as it floats, while
healthy, dense beans sink to the bottom.
