A natural Gesha 1931 from Gesha Village, the farm Adam Overton and Rachel Samuel founded in south-west Ethiopia, 20 km from the Gori Gesha forest where the variety was first collected in 1931.

The farm's team gathered seed in that forest and kept the plants closest to the Geisha grown in Panama: that selection is Gesha 1931. Red Label is the farm's growers' reserve. We roast it light, for filter.

Give it a week, then follow it.

A light roast keeps releasing carbon dioxide for days after roasting; brewed too early, it extracts unevenly and tastes muted. Give it at least seven days from roasting. After that it keeps changing from one day to the next, and following it through the bag is part of the pleasure.
