The founder of Gesha Village Coffee Estate, Adam Overton, came to Ethiopia in 2007 to film a coffee documentary. As he deepened his understanding of coffee, he became deeply captivated by it and ultimately decided to stay in the birthplace of coffee and devote himself to coffee cultivation.

When first searching for a farm location, Adam and his wife considered the convenience of transportation and labor resources, leaning toward areas near Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa. However, after exploring many locations, they never found an ideal spot. By chance, they discovered the Bench-Maji region near the Sudanese border, at an elevation between 1,909 and 2,069 meters, home to a secluded forest. They were deeply moved by the pristine natural environment and the warm local indigenous people, and decided to begin land preparation in October 2011 to build Gesha Estate.

By 2018, Gesha Estate's coffee cultivation area had expanded to approximately 320 hectares, accounting for about 68% of the estate's total area (471 hectares). Based on microclimates and varietal differences, the estate is divided into 8 cultivation plots: Shewa-Jibabu, Dimma, Shaya, Bangi, Gaylee, Narsha, Oma, and Surma. The carefully selected varieties planted in each area include: the Gori Geisha variety (GG) from the neighboring Gori Gesha original coffee forest, the G31 Geisha variety selected from the Gori Gesha forest based on morphology with flavors close to Panama Geisha, and the IF variety developed by the Ethiopian research laboratory.

Becoming the most environmentally friendly estate in Ethiopia and actively promoting environmental awareness is the ultimate goal of Gesha Estate. While pursuing this mission, Adam and his wife strictly oversee every cultivation and processing step, never compromising on quality, and are committed to building lasting relationships with their employees and customers.

The two lots purchased this year come from the Surma plot and the Bangi plot respectively. The Geisha variety planted in the Surma plot is G31, with intense floral aromas. This selected Lot #94 features not only intense purple and white floral aromas but also refreshing citric acidity reminiscent of grapefruit and lactic acid, with a malt sugar-like sweetness in the finish.
