This single-origin coffee is produced at the Gesha Village farm in the Bench Maji region of Ethiopia, situated at an altitude of 1931-2040 meters. The coffee is the Illubabor variety, processed using the natural method. Known for its environmental adaptability and disease resistance, this cultivar offers a clean and balanced cup profile. The Gaylee block, where this coffee is grown, is characterized by a mild humid climate and rich soil, consistently delivering well-balanced, clean-cup coffees.
Founded in 2020 by Tong Zhang in Chengdu, this micro-specialty roastery emerged from an unexpected journey—a robotics engineer's transformation into coffee artisan after discovering specialty coffee in Paris. Zhang, who placed third in the French Brewers Cup in his first year as a barista, brings technical precision to every roast, using Stronghold S7Pro machines to highlight the unique terroir of each coffee through light profiles that express origin, climate, soil, and the people behind each bean.
