PRODUCER

Gerse is a small coffee-producing area in the highlands of Yirgacheffe, in Ethiopia’s Gedeo Zone, with only around 300 bags produced each year.

Mikiyas Bogale took over his family’s washing station in 2020 and works with smallholders around Gerse Kebele, at around 2,000–2,200 meters above sea level.

PROCESSING

Only ripe cherries are selected before being pulped at the washing station and density-sorted in water.

The coffee ferments in concrete tanks for 48 to 72 hours, depending on the weather, before being washed and dried slowly on raised beds. Sorting continues throughout drying before the coffee is prepared for export in Addis Ababa.

How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia

Interpret Coffee Roasters describe this coffee as caramel and sweet, citrus, floral. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Ethiopia, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
