Gesha Village "Pride of Gesha" Pre Auction Cupping
Event description
The Gesha Village is known for producing one of the best cup profiles in the world. Here's your chance to experience it...
Join us for a cupping of an exclusive selection of coffees, showcasing some of the top lots from one of the world’s leading coffee producers.
Gesha Village coffees are one of the highlights of The Grounds Coffee Roastery's year. Normally cupped and experienced for the first time amongst our team in private, this year we thought we’d share the love.
This event will be a casual cupping night, and features no competition aspect. We will however have a little bit of Ethiopian finger food on offer and even display the traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony.
About:
The Grounds Roastery:
At The Grounds, our aim is simple: to create a special moment or memorable experience for absolutely every person who crosses our path. So, does this extend to our coffee? You bet it does.
In fact, our ridiculously passionate team won’t shut up about the stuff. The only time they’re not talking about coffee is when they’re drinking it. Legend has it that someone once asked roaster Nick about a new coffee grower he’d met and Nick’s reply was so enthusiastic that it continues to this very day.
Seriously though, our talented roastery team love what they do. The reason they spend their days continually testing and perfecting is simple: to make the coffee experience as special as can be.
Gesha Village Coffee Auction:
In 2017, Gesha Village held the first-ever private-estate coffee auction in Africa. Due to the overwhelming success of the inaugural event, the auction is now an annual event taking place each May or June, offering coffee roasters and enthusiasts worldwide the opportunity to taste and purchase the absolute top coffees that the farm produces.
This year, the quality control team evaluated more than 130 lots, selecting a limited number of top quality lots—those scoring 88 points and above—for auction. Pride of Gesha features three carefully chosen categories: Champions Reserve with seven lots of our very finest; Farm Reserve with 13 super-specialty lots; and Innovators Reserve with only 6 exclusive experimental offerings.
