About Gesha
Gesha takes its name from the Ethiopian town of Gesha, where seed was collected in the 1930s before travelling through Kenya, Tanzania and Costa Rica and eventually landing in Panama. It sat largely ignored for decades () until Hacienda La Esmeralda entered it in the 2004 Best of Panama and rewrote what the market believed a coffee could taste like. Every Gesha planted since traces back to that moment.
What makes it worth the trouble is aromatic intensity. Gesha carries a floral top note () that sits above the cup rather than in it, paired with a tea-like body and an acidity that stays bright without turning sharp. It is a variety that hides nothing: any shortcut in picking, fermentation or drying shows up immediately, which is why it remains the benchmark variety on competition tables and the one producers use to prove what their processing can do.
Jonathan Gasca, Tatan to most people in Bruselas, is better known to our customers for his Pacamara and Papayo naturals, so this washed Gesha is a change of pace. It’s a clean, classic expression of the variety: jasmine, rose and lavender on a light body, with bright, well-defined acidity.
