From the producer

Rachel Samuel and Adam Overton founded Gesha Village near the Gori Gesha forest and selected local forest seed resembling the Geisha genetics later made famous in Panama.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia Coffee is a specialty roaster that maintains direct relationships with producers to source high-quality, transparently traded coffees. They are known for their focus on seasonal offerings and precise roasting profiles that highlight the unique characteristics of each origin.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A documented natural Gesha release grown close to the variety's Ethiopian forest origin, with a named Oma plot, published harvest window, elevation range, and drying method.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Structured commerce completed

Filled the missing $50 USD structured price for the verified 198 g release.

02
Availability reverified

Retained sold-out status after the direct URL returned 404 and two exact-product trackers independently showed the bag out of stock.

03
Production fields refined

Kept the sourced elevation range in prose, retained the harvest window, refined raised-bed whole-cherry drying to approximately 2–3 weeks, and added the exact-catalog Light roast normalization.

04
Sentiment boundary preserved

Added no public rating because no independent review of this exact Intelligentsia release was found; catalog evidence scores and other roasters’ Oma lots were excluded.

What was added?

Structured $50 USD pricing, refreshed sold-out verification, a sourced drying-duration range, and a catalog-supported Light roast mapping.

What wasn't added?

No scalar elevation midpoint, separate fermentation recipe, formal grade, owner tasting score, or public-sentiment rating.

Why it matters

The profile now distinguishes the exact Intelligentsia release from other Oma lots while turning the verified commerce and processing details into structured, filterable fields.

What you might taste

Intelligentsia listed ube, strawberry and violet. These are roaster descriptors, not owner tasting observations.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-01) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

The Press, Cherrybook and BeanHoard are exact-product catalogs rather than tasting reviews. Cherrybook’s index uses sparse evidence including roaster-level YouTube and Reddit signals, so it was not treated as an exact-coffee cup rating. Reviews and scores for other roasters’ Oma lots were excluded.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
