Coffee Details

About This Coffee

Gera Estate sits in the highland forests of Djimma, a region widely believed to be the birthplace of coffee. Here, shade-grown arabica ripens slowly at elevations reaching over 2,100 metres. That altitude stretches out cherry maturation, building the sugars that give this lot its signature sweetness and structure.

Gera is a privately owned, vertically integrated estate: cultivation, harvesting and processing all happen on-site, under organic and biodiverse growing conditions. What sets it apart is consistency — the estate produces high-quality, fully traceable coffee year after year, backed by a genuine commitment to sustainable farming and social equity.

The vivid fruit you taste in the cup comes from anaerobic natural processing. Whole cherries are fermented in a sealed, low-oxygen environment before drying, a slow build-up that deepens sweetness and pushes the bright, winey, fruit-forward character far beyond a standard natural.

How to Brew Ethiopia Gera Estate Anaerobic

Two recipes to start from — one for espresso, one for filter. Dial in to taste.

If the cup tastes sharp or thin, grind a little finer; if it turns muddy or bitter, grind coarser and aim for the times above.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

The 283g bag brews roughly 16 espressos or 19 filter cups — about three weeks of single origin mornings. The 2lb (907g) bag stretches to around 50 espressos or 60 filter cups. This is a limited anaerobic lot from a single Ethiopian estate, so every cup is worth slowing down for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better as espresso or filter?
Both work beautifully. Filter (1:17, 15g, 250ml at 93°C) shows off the raspberry, magnolia and watermelon clarity. As espresso, pull 20g in to 42g out over 25–35 seconds for a sweeter, more concentrated, vanilla-led shot.

What does it taste like?
Light-bodied and juicy. Expect raspberry and watermelon fruit, a floral magnolia lift and a clean acidity, finishing long and vanilla-sweet — a vivid, fruit-forward anaerobic natural rather than a roasty cup.

How fresh is it?
We roast to order in Kuala Lumpur and ship within one week of your roast date. This light roast is at its best 2 to 3 weeks after roasting, so there's no rush to brew it all at once.

What is anaerobic natural processing?
Whole cherries ferment in a sealed, low-oxygen environment before drying. That slow, controlled fermentation deepens sweetness and amplifies the bright, fruity, winey notes you taste — going well beyond a standard natural process.
