Questions people ask.

What makes Gesha Village distinctive?

It grows the Gesha variety a short distance from the wild forest the variety was named for — forest-heritage selections at high altitude, sold each year through an auction that roasters across Europe buy into.

What does "Gesha 1931" mean?

It is the estate's name for its selection tracing back to the coffee collected near the Gori Gesha forest in the nineteen-thirties — the same lineage that later made Panamanian Gesha well known.

Where can I buy its coffees in Europe?

Right now 1 roasters in 1 countries list coffees from this farm — each card above links to the roaster's own shop.

Why do coffees from this farm cost more?

Small auction lots, rare selections and careful processing — the lots are bought at competitive auction before they ever reach a roastery, and the price follows the bag.

Where does Daily Roast get this information?

From the roasters' own listings, the farm's public materials, and Europe's Copernicus Earth-observation programme. We only publish what we can check — and we say so when something is an estimate.
