What makes this coffee exceptional — a quick guide
What is Gesha?
Gesha (also spelled Geisha) is one of the rarest and most prized coffee varieties in the world. Originally from Ethiopia, it's known for its extraordinary floral and fruit complexity — tastes that most coffees simply don't achieve. At specialty auctions, Gesha routinely sells for $100–$500+/lb. Growing it at 1,400–1,850 meters in Honduras is unusual; altitude that high concentrates its signature character.
What does 87.52 points mean?
The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) uses a 100-point scale to evaluate coffee. Any coffee scoring 80+ is considered "specialty grade" — meaning it's among the top tier of all coffee produced globally. 87.52 places this Gesha in the Especial range — the highest grade IHCAFE awards. The score was certified by IHCAFE (Instituto Hondureño del Café), Honduras's national coffee quality laboratory, and independently confirmed at 86 by a blind U.S. importer QC evaluation — two separate expert panels, same result.
What is honey process?
After picking, coffee cherries are pulped (the outer skin is removed) but the sticky mucilage — the honey-like layer — is left on the bean during drying. This adds sweetness and body that a fully washed coffee won't have, while keeping more clarity than a natural-dried coffee. The result: the bergamot and jasmine florals of the Gesha variety come through cleanly, but with a silky, rounded texture underneath.

Why it tastes the way it does

The honey mucilage left on the bean during drying is why you taste silky sweetness underneath the bergamot — not despite it. The process is the flavor.

Who is this for?

For the home brewer who already knows they prefer light roasts. For the curious beginner who wants to understand what specialty actually means. Not for anyone expecting a dark, bitter cup.

How Your Order Works

01

You Reserve.

Pay now. You claim your lot from this harvest. Confirmation arrives immediately.

02

We Export. We Roast.

Your coffee travels from our mountain to a US specialty roaster. Each lot roasted separately, to order.

03

We Keep You in the Loop.

Updates from us as your coffee clears Honduras export, US customs, and reaches the roaster. You're never left wondering.

04

It Arrives Fresh.

Your bags leave the roaster once the 2026 harvest lands in the US — roasted to order, labeled with your exact lot. From our hands to yours.

Producer-Direct

From Our Hands
to Your Cup.

In the mountains of Belén Gualcho, Ocotepeque, we grow coffee between 1,400 and 1,850 meters — among the highest growing altitudes in Honduras. We picked these cherries. We ran them through our honey process. We are the ones shipping this to you.

Our farms grow under a natural canopy of native pine and Inga trees. The shade, the altitude, and the cloud forest humidity slow cherry maturation for weeks longer than lowland farms. That unhurried ripening is why this Gesha scored 87.52 by IHCAFE — and why it tastes the way it does.

We are not a roaster who bought this from a farmer. We are the farmers. This is the direct handoff — from the growers straight to you.
