The first Gesha Village offering from the Observatory. Gesha is a prized and highly sought-after coffee varietal known for its delicate yet uniquely complex flavours. The Gesha Village Coffee Estate is a sustainable farm built from the ground up to grow this unique varietal within close proximity to original Gori Gesha forest, the birthplace of the Gesha varietal and site of the Panamanian Geisha discovery of the 1930s.
In the ‘Chaka’ you will get to taste a sample of the original Gesha grown from prized seed stock of the wild Gori Gesha forest. Makes me wanna throw some shakas 🤙 A true gem and couldn’t be more excited to feature this coffee in the Observatory.
