Gesha Village Gori Gesha Forest, where the summer rose seed was first discovered. In 2011, Adam followed consultant Willem Boot in the forest around the estate to start "exploration", in a dense forest magically wrapped in the jungle, found a variety of wild tree species, the most surprising of which is the wild rose summer. They later learned that this was the Gori Gesha Forest, where the first varieties of Gesha coffee were discovered. They collected seeds from native rose trees, carefully screened them and sent them to specialized agencies for genetic testing to determine that they belonged to the original collection site of Panamanian rose varieties; then, by studying the plant morphology of coffee trees, the appearance and size of coffee beans, and the cup test results, they selected the summer rose seeds closest to today's Panamanian rose, and began to raise seedlings. Adam has his own understanding of coffee treatment, with high-quality sun and water to highlight its regional flavor, supplemented by a small amount of honey treatment and other experimental batches.

The total area of Guixia Village is 471 hectares. Since 2011, the planting area has been gradually expanded. By 2017, the planting area is about 320 hectares, which is one of the largest Guixia Manor in the world. In order to better manage and refine the coffee flavor, the manor owner divided the Guixia Village Garden into 8 regions, and on this basis, each batch was numbered again. The west of the manor is relatively high, so OMA, SURMA and SHEWA-JIBABU are slightly higher above sea level, while the shade ratio is relatively higher in the south and the sunshine time is longer in the north. For each of the eight plots, estate managers selected the most suitable variety (shown above) based on microclimate differences such as altitude, soil conditions, and shade conditions, ensuring that each plot would have distinct characteristics.
