Story

Ethiopia Gera Estate, a light roast natural coffee, boasts a delightful blend of sweet, floral notes, and the enticing aroma of fruit. We’ve been consistently purchasing this coffee for three years, and each lot has consistently earned its place in our hearts.

Gera Estate is an exceptionally sweet light roast, with a prominent berry and mango flavor that lingers throughout the finish. The heirloom varietal and the coffee’s elevation at 1,900 meters contribute to its lively acidity, while the natural processing process perfectly balances the sweetness. After harvest, the cherries are dried slowly on raised beds, preserving the entire fruit, which is evident in the cup.

Nestled in the high-altitude region of Djimma, western Ethiopia, Gera Estate benefits from cool temperatures and nitrogen-rich soil, which result in dense and expressive beans. The farm operates organically, free from chemical fertilizers and insecticides. Moreover, Gera Estate takes exceptional care of its employees, providing them with housing, childcare, education, clean drinking water, electricity, and healthcare, all at no cost. This commitment to employee well-being is a significant factor in our decision to purchase this coffee consistently.

If you prefer light-bodied naturals, Gera Estate is an ideal choice for you. To fully appreciate the floral notes, consider brewing it as a pourover.

Gera Estate is also the coffee behind POTENTIAL, the pioneering cold brew made with electricity. We collaborated with Dr. Christopher Hendon and Overpotential to create this innovative beverage.
