Flavour profile
Lavender and raspberry, with a citrus lift
Most coffee cherries ripen red, but Yellow Gesha ripens golden and shows the most floral side of the Gesha variety. Washing keeps the cup clean, so lavender, raspberry and lemongrass come through crisp and clear.

What's actually in the bag
A rare cherry colour and a clean process. Here's what Yellow Gesha and washed mean for your cup.
The variety · Yellow Gesha
Gesha that ripens golden
Yellow Gesha is a less common form of the famous Gesha variety whose cherries ripen yellow instead of red. It keeps Gesha's floral elegance and is prized for an especially perfumed, bright cup. This lot is grown in Colombia.
The process · Washed
Fruit off, florals forward
The fruit is removed and the beans are washed before drying as parchment. With nothing masking it, the lavender, raspberry and citrus come through clean, and a light Melbourne roast keeps them bright.

Questions about Yellow Gesha? Ask our coffee team →
What does Yellow Gesha taste like?
A bright, perfumed cup with lavender on the aroma, juicy raspberry, zesty citrus and a refreshing lemongrass finish. The body is light and clean.
What is Yellow Gesha?
Yellow Gesha is a yellow-cherry form of the Gesha variety. Most coffee cherries ripen red, but these ripen golden yellow. It keeps Gesha's famous floral elegance and is less common than red Gesha.
How is it different from your Gesha King?
Both are Colombian Gesha. Gesha King is natural, with jasmine, caramel and red fruit. Yellow Gesha is washed, so it tastes brighter and cleaner, with lavender, raspberry, citrus and lemongrass.
How should I brew Yellow Gesha?
For pour-over, start with 15 g of coffee to 250 g of water at 92-95°C, with a total brew time of about 2:45-3:15. A slightly cooler kettle keeps the citrus and lemongrass bright.
Drink it black to taste the full floral profile.
Why is it sometimes sold out?
Yellow Gesha comes in small lots, so it can sell out between harvests. When it's back, you can order it or subscribe from the top of this page.
