One Intention

At Gesha Village Coffee Estate, our journey began with a single intention: to create extraordinary coffee in true harmony with the people and the land. Founders Rachel Samuel and Adam Overton left their creative lives in Los Angeles, inspired by a deep love for coffee and a vision to honor its origins. Partnering with coffee expert Willem Boot, they established Gesha Village near the birthplace of the legendary Gesha variety. Every step of our story is shaped by intentionality: from creating our own cultivars with heirloom Gesha seeds and perfecting our processing methods, to building meaningful partnerships with the local Meanit community and safeguarding the ancient forests that surround us. This unwavering focus infuses every cup of Gesha Village coffee, where artistry, respect, and sustainability unite to create something truly exceptional.

One Rhythm

Our estate’s creation is a story of harmony-a shared rhythm between the land and its people. On the breathtaking Gesha plateau, we have built our farm with meticulous care and deep respect for both the environment and the Meanit community. Each phase of our work moves to its own rhythm: nurturing iconic coffee varieties, tending each plant from seedling to harvest, and carefully selecting only the ripest cherries. Our micro-lot processing methods are precise and innovative, capturing the unique flavors of our terroir, whether through traditional natural and washed processes or new experimental techniques. The spirit of unity extends beyond our fields, as we support the community through outreach, protect the surrounding forests, and invest in education by building the area’s first high school. At Gesha Village, extraordinary coffee is the result of this harmonious rhythm-people and land working together as one.
