Gesha - Surma
At Rite Coffee Co., we strive to bring you the world’s most exquisite coffees, and our Surma Gesha 1931 from Gesha Village Coffee Estate is a prime example of specialty coffee at its peak. Nestled in Ethiopia’s Bench Maji Zone, near the historic Gori Gesha forest, this coffee represents a perfect marriage of terroir, varietal, and meticulous natural processing.
Grown at 1,909 to 2,063 meters in the Surma block of the estate, this lot benefits from high elevation, cool cloud cover, and rich biodiversity, leading to a coffee with elegant florality, layered fruit complexity, and a silky-smooth structure. The natural process, where whole cherries are sun-dried on raised African beds, enhances its strawberry and ripe watermelon sweetness, balanced by a refined red apple acidity and subtle floral spice.
This is a coffee for those who love expressive, aromatic, and fruit-forward flavors, delivering an experience that is both delicate and deeply complex.
What Makes It Special:
• Legendary Terroir: Grown in the birthplace of the Gesha variety, this coffee reflects the unique climate and history of Ethiopia’s Bench Maji Zone.
• Exquisite Varietal: The Gesha 1931 cultivar, a direct descendant of Ethiopia’s original Gesha trees, is known for its intensely floral and tea-like qualities.
• Natural Processed Brilliance: Sun-dried in whole cherries, this method maximizes fruit intensity, creating a lush, berry-laden cup with lingering jasmine and Damascus rose aromatics.
• High Elevation, Shade Grown: Cultivated at up to 2,063 meters, slow bean maturation enhances clarity, sweetness, and complexity.
• Sustainably Grown: Gesha Village preserves 27% of its land as a dedicated conservation area, ensuring coffee thrives in harmony with nature.
