Datura Coffee - Gesha Village Lot 26/128 Surma - Ethiopia - Washed

Tasting notes: Orange blossom, green tea, raspberry, jasmine, mandarin

Lot 26/128 comes from the Surma block of Gesha Village in Bench Maji, Ethiopia, where Gesha 1931 grows between 1,909 and 2,063 metres. This washed lot provides a different block-level expression from Oma 26/126, while retaining the same variety and a closely comparable processing approach.

Gesha Village was developed by Rachel Samuel and Adam Overton following their exploration of Ethiopia’s coffee heritage. The estate combines cultivation with native forest conservation and research into Gesha genetics. Its Gesha 1931 selection connects these coffees to the variety’s Ethiopian origins.

The cherries are carefully sorted and floated before pulping. A dry fermentation of 12 to 18 hours removes the mucilage, followed by washing and 12 to 15 days of shade drying in thin layers. The coffee then rests for at least two months before milling. Datura’s notes combine orange blossom, green tea, raspberry, jasmine and mandarin. Its floral, tea and citrus references offer an interesting contrast to Oma’s oolong and white-peach descriptors. For a focused tasting, the two washed lots let you compare the influence of individual blocks within the estate.
