Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, and Gesha is no exception. The Gesha variety was discovered in 1931, and then gradually spread to the Americas and other countries. Therefore, Ethiopia is one of the most noteworthy Gesha coffee producing countries besides Panama. However, unlike Panama and other American countries, Ethiopia has many varieties and is mainly grown by small farmers. It is almost impossible to tell whether it is a Gesha variety, and most of them are exported under the name of "native species."
To taste Ethiopian Gesha, the first choice is the most cost-effective Front Street Grana Manor Gesha. The high altitude and exquisite sun-drying process give it a floral and fruity aroma, with a soft flavor but without losing the caramel feeling. In addition to hand brewing, cold brewing, and smart cup steeping, Front Street Grana Gesha coffee can also be extracted with Gesha SOE.

This Front Street Grana Gesha coffee comes from the Grana processing station at the junction of Ethiopia's Kechier and Grana Abaya production areas. The processing station was established in 2014 and is headed by Mr. Israel Degefa. The area where the processing station is located has a coffee planting area of up to 700 hectares, most of which are uncultivated areas with fertile soil and shade trees.
Thanks to the fertile soil and fully sheltered growth environment of the original rainforest, this Ethiopian native Geisha presents a more varied layering. Fully ripe cherry fruits are hand-picked and then sun-dried on an elevated ground. Depending on the weather conditions, the drying time is 14-20 days, and only then can the Grana Manor sun-dried Geisha come into your mouth today.
Front Street Grana Manor sun-dried Geisha coffee is roasted in a medium-light intensity and has a better balance. After grinding, it exudes a light flavor of strawberry jam and pineapple. The brewed coffee tastes alternately sour and sweet, with prominent flavors of black tea, apricot, and orange. The aftertaste brings out the texture of brown sugar, just like a cup of Geisha that is not so mysterious. It is very familiar and can be used as a daily ration of beans at home.
What does the cold brew of Front Street Grana Estate Gesha with its rich floral and fruity aroma taste like?
1. Front Street Grana Manor Geisha coffee powder with 40 grams of fine granulated sugar, powder to water ratio 1:13;
2. Prepare an oil-free and clean sealed container with a capacity of more than 600 ml;
3. After everything is ready, add 520g of ice water and stir evenly to allow the coffee powder to fully contact the water, then place it in the refrigerator and seal it for 8-12 hours;
4. When the extraction time is up, take it out and filter all the coffee powder in the pot before enjoying and storing it.
5. Storage time of cold brew coffee: Front Street recommends drinking cold brew coffee within 5 days after filtering it in a sealed state.
Theoretically, the longer the cold brew coffee is left, the richer the fermented flavor of the coffee will be. However, because opening the cap can easily allow bacteria to invade the coffee, leading to the growth of more unhealthy substances, it is recommended to drink it as soon as possible.
