From the roaster
The team at Gesha Village is growing some of the oldest cultivars on record near the primeval forests where coffee is believed to have first appeared on earth, but applying thoroughly modern approaches to quality control and innovation. The "mossto anaerobic" process behind this lot involves submerging the coffee seed in its fruit pulp and juice expelled from the coffee cherry in a sealed container for more than three days.
