This week's release is a heirloom varietal from Ethiopia's Gesha Village! This coffee embodies the distinct flavors of the washed Ethiopian terroir, showcasing an abundance of stone fruit and citrus notes. In our cups, we are finding lots of sweetness like white peach and honey. And on the finish, the combination of honey and lemon creating a refreshing sweetened iced black tea flavour!

This offering is known as 'Chaka' from Gesha Village. Appropriately named, 'Chaka' translates to 'forest,' reflecting the fact that this coffee is grown entirely in the primeval forests of Western Omo. This coffee is grown naturally among the rich developed biodiversity of the forest. This lot is a great representation of the flavours of terroir from the Bench Maji zone of Ethiopia. 

Gesha village is a famed coffee producer and has gained recognition for its exceptional coffee beans, particularly the Gesha varietal. However, Gesha Village isn't just about producing amazing coffee. They're also committed to supporting their local community through education and environmental initiatives. The farm operates a school that provides free education to over 200 children, and a nursery program that helps to preserve and propagate endangered plant species in the region. So, when you sip on Gesha Village coffee, you're not just getting a tasty caffeine hit, you're also helping them do some good for their communities!
