Las Etiopes, nestled in the mountains of Jaén within the village of El Porvenir, is the brainchild of UK expatriate Simon Brown and his wife Merlith Cruz. Spanning eight hectares, this farm comprises a diverse landscape, with one hectare dedicated to the cultivation of Ethiopian Heirlooms and Geisha, while another hectare is planted with traditional varieties like Borbón, Caturra, and Catimor. Simon began his venture in 2019, driven by the promise he observed in the region's terroir during numerous harvest seasons spent in Jaén.

This lot is a beautiful example of a classic Washed Gesha. Expect intense perfumed floral aroma with bright citrus acidity balanced by stone fruit sweetness. It is truly delicious.

Richard ★★★★★

The altitude really shows—at 2,050 meters this Gesha has that delicate, almost tea-like clarity through the washed process. I’ve been brewing it as a pour-over and the wet fermentation gives it a clean, bright finish that keeps me coming back for another cup.

Eli ★★★★★

Brewed a V60 and the wet fermentation really lets the florals shine through—tea-like and delicate, almost no bitterness. At 2,050 masl you can taste the altitude in that clean, crisp finish. Easily the most nuanced cup I've had this season.

Eva ★★★★★

Opened the bag and the dry fragrance alone told me this was something special—that classic Gesha florality is unmistakable. The cup is incredibly clean and sweet, and knowing it’s a washed process from Jaén at 2,050 meters, every sip feels like a little trip to the mountainside.
