Ethiopian Coffee Bean | introduction of graded Coffee beans in Gori geisha Village

Speaking of geisha, many people will think of BOP, after all, rose varieties in the past, because it is too fragile, cumbersome to grow and need long-term care, so it is not liked by farmers, until 2005, the Emerald Manor used rose varieties to participate in the best Panama (Panama) competitions and auctions, winning the first place with excellent results, which also made geisha famous. But in fact, the geisha variety originally came from Ethiopia, and is now best known in Ethiopia for its geisha coffee from the village of geisha.

Guoxia Village Manor

The village of Roxia is in the westernmost part of Ethiopia, just a few kilometers from South Sudan, and is located in the wild jungle of Bench Maji (Banchi Maji). At present, the manor mainly grows geisha 1931, Gori geisha and disease-resistant variety Illubabor.

Rose Xia Village Manor was founded by documentary director Adam Overton and photographer's wife Rachel Samuel. While filming a documentary about coffee for the Ethiopian government in 2007, the couple discovered the Gori Gesha Forest Forest in the Bench Maji region and came up with the idea of starting their own coffee farm. Then I met Willem, the owner of the Panamanian mule farm in 2009, and returned to Ethiopia in search of geisha's birthplace. They came to the place where Bench Maji is called Gesha Village and found the area most likely to be the pristine geisha. After finding the wild geisha, we collected seeds from the native geisha trees, screened and planted them in the geisha village, and decided to build the manor here and call it the Gesha Village geisha village manor.

geisha 1931 / Gori geisha

geisha 1931 (Gesha1931): the rose variety was found in the Ethiopian coffee forest in 1931 and became famous in Panama because of its tolerance to coffee leaf rust. This geisha variety is the original geisha variety found in the rose forest by the manor owner of the geisha village. it is named geisha 1931 because it is very close to the Panamanian geisha variety in genetic comparison.

Gori Gesha: Gori geisha was discovered in 2011, after the establishment of the Rose Village Manor, a bean species that looks like geisha was found in the Gori Forest 12 miles away, so it was named Gori geisha.

Iru Gbagbo (Illubabor Forest 1974): discovered during an expedition in the Illubabor Forest in 1974, a variety with antibodies was later developed by the Ethiopian Research Center and is currently only grown on the geisha Village Manor.

Plot planting

Ruoxia Village is divided into two parts, and only one variety is planted on each plot, so the varieties can be identified by the plots. Planting geisha in oma, surma and narsha plots in 1931, planting Gori geisha in 1931, and finally planting Illubabor in gaylee and dimma plots. Coffee cherries picked in each block are labeled to indicate the source and are tracked from the factory to the export through an internal tracking system.

Coffee classification

The current coffee grading in Roxia Village is based on some business models of Panama, which is completely different from the traditional grading system in Ethiopia. At present, Roxia Village is roughly divided into five categories.
