In the westernmost part of Ethiopia, just a few kilometers from the border with South Sudan, is the dense jungle of Bench Maji. This is a place of breathtaking natural beauty, where the plateau can extend into a vast ancient forest. This breathtaking view is home to the coffee farm in Rosa Village, a 471ha coffee farm that Adam Overton has built from scratch over the past six years.

The seeds were collected from the Gori Gesha Coffee Forest, 20 kilometers from the village of Rosa. Through historical investigations and genetic tests, the location of Gori Gesha has been identified as a collection site for Panamanian geisha.

Rosa 1931 (Gesha 1931): this is selected from a diverse forest population similar to the Panamanian geisha. Select by looking at the shape of the plant, the shape and size of the beans, and the results of the cup test.

Gori Gesha: this native variety replicates genetic diversity in the Gori Gesha forest. These seeds were harvested through our own expedition in 2011.

In addition, there is another species from the Ethiopian Research Center: the Irubab Forest (Illubabor Forest).

The selection of the resistant variety was obtained from an investigation in the Illubabor coffee forest in 1974.
