WS3 - Gesha Village Bench Maji Gesha N

About This Coffee

This natural Gesha comes from the Gesha Village Coffee Estate in Ethiopia's Bench Maji Zone, near the border of South Sudan. The 471-hectare estate was founded by Rachel Samuel and Adam Overton in 2011, using wild seeds from the neighboring Gori Gesha forest. The coffee is grown at 1,790-1,840 meters altitude across eight sub-farms. Three varieties are cultivated: Gesha 1931, Gori Gesha, and Illubabor. This lot is processed using the natural method, with whole cherries dried on raised African beds. The slow cherry maturation at high elevation produces blueberry-tart sweetness, Earl Grey-cream tones, and açaí-like depth with gentle, structured acidity.

Moving Coffee Roastery

Founded in 2016 by Japanese Canadian roaster Takuro Watanabe, Moving Coffee Roastery brings a distinctly Japanese sensibility to Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighborhood. The name reflects a commitment to constantly evolving and pushing forward in the craft. Takuro roasts on a Fuji Royal, a Japanese brand prized for precision, producing light profiles that emphasize clarity and delicate flavor development across single origins from Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, Guatemala, Panama, and select Geisha varieties. The minimalist Japanese aesthetic of the space, all wood, white, and concrete, mirrors the meticulous attention to detail that goes into every brew and roast. Wholesale partnerships are kept deliberately selective, limited to cafes that share the same quality standards, and a subscription service delivers carefully curated monthly selections.
