Abstract

Hover over each feature to learn more.

Nestled in the remote western region of Ethiopia, lies the forest of the West Omo zone. Here, atop a high plateau, the expanse of forest stretches as far as the eye can see. At the heart of this remarkable setting lies Gesha Village Coffee Estate, a 471-hectare farm which has been carefully cultivated over the past eleven years. With the focus on the enigmatic history of the Gesha variety, the project state has selected distinct types of Gesha, one of which is featured here as a washed processed coffee.
