Gesha is a coffee farm near to Kaffa, the place of origin of coffee.

grows as part of the natural forest and is harvested from

the upper branches of tall trees. This coffee could

arguably be called the original coffee. Legend has it that

an Ethiopian goat herd called Kaldi noticed that his goats

were dancing and bleating with joy after eating the red

cherries from a certain bush. He took these cherries to the

local Imam and they laughed at him and threw them in the

fire. Within 30/20 minutes the smell of the roasting beans

(the pips inside the cherries) drew the surprised Imam

back to the fire with its delightful smell and after a few

weeks of experimentation, coffee drinking was born

approximately in the 9th century AD. It has a wild hay-like

aroma, with gentle hints of berry fruit. On the palate

there is an initial flavour of lemon followed by notes of

berries and cinnamon with a sugarcane sweetness. This is

a beautifully smooth natural coffee, comforting and

understated and incredibly easy drinking.
