Bolivia - Gesha

Please note: Pre-ground coffee beans can quickly lose their freshness, resulting in a notable decrease in aroma and flavor. For this reason, we do not offer a grinding service. We strongly encourage our customers to grind their coffee beans just before use for the best experience.

Gesha is widely recognized in the specialty coffee industry for its luxurious, premium, and rare qualities. This year, we are delighted to introduce our second-ever Gesha coffee from Bolivia. This coffee has impressed us, particularly in straight espresso, with its notable flavors of jujube, cranberry, papaya, and stone fruits. We also found it exceptionally enjoyable when brewed as pour over in a Hario V60 or Origami with a medium coarse grind.

Juan Carlos Huanca, owner of Finca La Asunta in La Asunta, Bolivia, is responsible for producing this exceptional coffee. His 7-hectare farm allocates 3 hectares to coffee cultivation, while the remainder is dedicated to citrus fruits. Juan employs a meticulous process, starting with a 22-hour dry fermentation, followed by drying the coffee on raised beds for 7 days.

By introducing Gesha to his farm, Juan aims to pioneer new and exciting flavor profiles in the region, with an annual yield of just 2250 kilograms of coffee.
