FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Gesha Village Gesha

At Gesha Village, every step of cultivation and processing strives to uncompromising quality. Through strict cupping processes at their coffee laboratory in Addis Ababa, following official SCA standards, they carefully select each batch and conduct rigorous grading to ensure buyers receive the highest quality coffee beans. Finally, from extremely premium and delicious treasures to refined Chaka blends, they are classified into four levels total, provided to coffee markets worldwide. Their approach ensures that every batch, every label, can be traced back to detailed information about the beans.

Gold Label (Auction Batches)

This portion of coffee beans accounts for 10% of the farm's total production, featuring complex flavors, exceptional quality, and extreme rarity. These scarce coffees are the top-tier coffees from Gesha Village used for auctions, often utilized by world-class baristas for international coffee competitions.

Red Label

This grade also belongs to special small batches, accounting for only 15% of Gesha Village's total production, exhibiting excellent characteristic Gesha flavor attributes and outstanding cupping performance, scoring 88 points or above according to SCA cupping standards.

Green Label

Green Label Gesha comes from one of the small farms within Gesha Village. It also guarantees complete traceability of label information on every package of this batch coffee, including farm block name, coffee variety, and processing date. They set the minimum purchase quantity for this level of coffee beans at one entire batch, ranging from 20 to 40 bags. The flavor profile of this segment is slightly lower than the Red Label.
