The Story Behind Gesha Village

If you didn't miss Willem Boot's excellent lecture at the coffee exhibition in November 2016,

you must have been deeply impressed by Willem Boot's winding journey of coffee farming dreams and his Geisha root-seeking expedition,

and have eagerly awaited the arrival of this coffee bean.

Estate owner Adam Overton is a genuine American and a documentary filmmaker by profession,

while his wife Rachel Samuel is Ethiopian and a photographer.

In 2007, the couple was commissioned to Ethiopia to shoot a documentary about coffee.

As the filming progressed,

with deeper contact with Ethiopia's land and people,

the dream of establishing their own estate began to sprout.

Everything made breakthrough progress after they met Willem Boot,

even the estate location selection, variety selection, and processing methods

have much to do with Willem Boot.

To this day, Willem Boot still leads groups to visit every year

and stays at the estate to handle coffee post-processing.

2016 was only Gesha Village Estate's second harvesting season.

This batch uses the same wild Geisha variety from the green canopy of Gori Gesha Forest,

processed using the natural method.

Slightly different from traditional Ethiopian natural processing,

under Willem Boot's professional advice,

Gesha Village Estate's natural processing method

adopts Panamanian natural processing techniques,

with all materials for the raised African beds imported from Panama.
