For 20 years, Gesha has remained one of the most sought-after varieties in the world. After its meteoric rise to specialty coffee fame in 2004, it has since received record-breaking bids at numerous renowned coffee auctions – especially in Panama.
We often associate Gesha with Panama – and for good reason. It was in this Central American country that producers discovered the variety’s huge potential in terms of quality. Gesha’s origins, however, are in Ethiopia, where it still grows today. Moreover, other countries have also started to produce Gesha – including Colombia and Guatemala.
This raises the question: is there a “best” origin for Gesha? Or is that impossible (or potentially even unfair) to answer?
To find out, I spoke to Adam Overton, general manager at Gesha Village and Ben Rowe, owner of Just Bru Coffee and Harmony Coffee Roasters.
