Bench Maji is located in the remote highlands of southwestern Ethiopia and is one of the original discovery sites of the Geisha (Gesha) variety. Geisha is a rare variety selected from wild plants in the local forests, similar in lineage to Panama Geisha, but retaining more original wildness and delicate floral notes. This washed lot is known for its jasmine and bergamot notes, earning it the title of "Queen of Jasmine Fragrance." The high altitude and meticulous washed processing ensure that each coffee cherry exhibits ultimate cleanliness and tea-like layers, like a premium jasmine fruit tea that amazes with every sip.
