More Info
The Gera Estate is located in the Djimma region of Ethiopia at altitudes over 2,000 meters above sea level. This altitude combined with the nitrogen-rich plants and natural fertilizers used on the estate provide excellent growing conditions for specialty coffee. No chemical fertilizers or insecticides are used; production at GERA focuses on sustainability and good working conditions for its employees. The GERA Estate provides housing, childcare and education, clean drinking water, electricity, healthcare, and recreational facilities for all of its employees free of charge.
This natural coffee is processed using raised beds which is preferable because they increase airflow around the whole fruit to enable more even drying. All of these variables lead to a sweet tasting cup with notes of cane sugar, peach, pineapple and strawberry.
