GESHA VILLAGE AUCTION • GVA.20
Surma Gesha 1931 – Honey
This lot comes directly from the 2026 Pride of Gesha Auction, the tenth edition of Gesha Village’s annual auction and one of the most tightly curated releases from the estate.
Only 34 lots were selected for this year’s auction across the entire farm, representing different varieties, processes and expressions of Gesha Village. Each lot is auctioned individually, with the winning bidder securing the entire lot.
GVA.20 comes from Surma, one of Gesha Village’s Gesha 1931 blocks, grown between 1,911–2,069m.
Processed as a Honey, it combines the elegance and transparency of Ethiopian Gesha with a fuller sweetness and fruit-driven structure.
The cup opens with delicate florals, followed by bright passion fruit and orange, then layers of ripe berries underneath.
Rare, expressive and genuinely difficult to replace once it’s gone.

From 2000–2200m at Jurutungo Farm, Nintai applies Hachi’s Symbiotic Process.
A washed Gesha is pulped and then submerged in “mosto” — the active fermentation liquor from a Natural Gesha. This allows the washed coffee to absorb esters, volatiles, and floral precursors from the donor while preserving its structural clarity. After 36 hours in this controlled medium, the coffee is gently washed and dried slowly in a dark-room dehumidification chamber, resulting in florals and fruit depth rarely seen in washed lots.

Ranked #6 in the Natural Category at the Taste of Harvest (TOH), this lot comes from Buku Abel in Sidama and is grown at around 2,000m with the 74158 variety.
Taste of Harvest, organised by the African Fine Coffees Association, is one of East Africa’s major annual green coffee competitions. Each producing country selects its best coffees through national judging, with top lots progressing to regional competition — making it an important platform for recognising quality across African origins.
Buku Abel has become one of the standout names in recent TOH competitions, and this lot shows why.
Processed as a Natural, the coffee keeps a vivid fruit character while maintaining impressive clarity. Blueberry sweetness leads the cup, followed by bright lemon and bergamot, with tangerine bringing a clean citrus finish.
Bright, juicy and very Ethiopian — but with the structure of a competition lot.
Flavour Notes

El Burro is part of Lamastus Family Estates, a four-generation coffee-growing family in Panama whose history dates back to 1918.
Located in the highlands of Chiriquí, the estate is surrounded by native cloud forest and young volcanic soils, with part of the land connected to the protected environment of Volcán Barú National Park. Its southern location gives El Burro a noticeably different microclimate from the family's other estates, creating a distinct expression of Panamanian Geisha.
This lot is naturally processed, allowing the fruit to dry around the seed and build a fuller, sweeter profile while retaining the clarity and structure we look for in high-elevation Geisha.
Juicy, fruit-driven and incredibly lively, with ripe grape sweetness and layers of fresh berries.

Zero Fermentation Washed
No fermentation. Literally.
This lot from Bombe, Sidama takes washed coffee back to its simplest form. Once the cherries are harvested, they’re depulped and the mucilage is removed immediately — no fermentation stage at all — before being dried on raised beds under shade.
It sounds almost suspiciously simple, especially in a world where coffee processing seems to gain another fermentation step every year.
But that’s exactly what makes this lot interesting.
Without fermentation doing the talking, the character of the 74158 variety and its terroir comes through with remarkable clarity. The cup is bright, delicate and extremely clean: fresh green grape sweetness, soft frangipani florals and a crisp citrus finish.
Sometimes doing less really does give you more.

LAS BRISAS • Bourbon Aji 200g
Washed
Colombia • Huila
Las Brisas is a family farm run by Julian and his father Bernardo in Pitalito, Huila, at 1,500–1,600 metres above sea level. Surrounded by mountain streams and abundant natural water sources, the farm cultivates a diverse range of varieties including Gesha, Pink Bourbon, Colombia, Caturra and Bourbon Aji.
A third-generation coffee-growing family, Bernardo is well known in the local community not only for his decades of farming experience, but also as a passionate singer. Julian, a graduate of SENA National Coffee School, focuses on processing innovation, continuously refining washed, honey and anaerobic fermentation techniques to unlock each variety’s full potential.
This washed Bourbon Aji is a beautiful example of that philosophy — remarkably transparent, elegant and intensely floral.

Cascade Fermentation
Another expression of Hachi’s Cascade Fermentation, this lot focuses on harmony rather than intensity. The sequential fermentation stages gradually increase biochemical complexity while maintaining a rounded, balanced cup.
Xùzhāng — “Prelude” — represents the beginning of a story: complete, composed and beautifully structured. Floral aromatics, vibrant citrus and refined sweetness come together in a cup that feels effortlessly balanced.

Elida Estate has been owned by the Lamastus family since 1918.

Cool nights and misty conditions slow cherry ripening, giving these high-altitude coffees time to develop.
LOMA is a naturally processed Geisha grown at 1,800m. Maple-syrup sweetness meets bright pineapple, with delicate jasmine florals lifting the finish. Sweet, tropical and quietly elegant.
