Ethiopia Laba Gesha

Coffee Story

Representing the inaugural harvest from a newly discovered frontier, this Grade 1 Natural originates from Laba Gesha, a high-altitude village perched at an extreme 2,442 m.a.s.l. on the northern edge of Yirgacheffe, bordering the cold Bule mountain range.  

Championed by G Broad Trading and Adanech’s family, this historic inaugural village lot highlights the local Kurume variety cultivated at the very upper limit of where coffee can grow. Meticulously hand-sorted and slow-dried on bamboo raised beds for an average of 21 days, this high-elevation natural opens with an elegant base of refined black tea, lifting into a soft, pillowy sweetness of pink marshmallow. A bright, citrus-forward burst of juicy orange brings vibrant energy to the mid-palate, before settling into a delicate, lingering finish of fragrant rose, a truly exquisite showcase of extreme-altitude Ethiopian terroir.
