A Journey Through Global Coffee Origins

The Story Behind Our Carefully Curated Selection

 At Videshi, we believe that every great cup of coffee begins with its origin—the soil, climate, and meticulous care that goes into cultivating and processing each bean. Our launch collection features some of the world’s most celebrated specialty coffees, each chosen for its distinctive flavor profile, exceptional craftsmanship, and quality. In this guide, we take a deep dive into each of the origins we’ve selected, offering Indian coffee lovers an inside look at what makes these beans truly special.

Gori Gesha (Ethiopia): The Birthplace of a Legend

Gori Gesha is grown in the Gesha region of Ethiopia, the birthplace of the legendary Gesha varietal, renowned for its floral complexity and refined elegance. This slow-dry natural coffee is cultivated at high elevations, where cooler temperatures allow for slow cherry maturation, resulting in an elegant, complex cup. Expect delicate floral aromatics, juicy stone fruit notes, and a smooth tropical sweetness that lingers on the palate.

 

Idido Yirgacheffe (Ethiopia): A Classic Ethiopian Experience

Grown in the famous Yirgacheffe region, Idido Yirgacheffe is one of Ethiopia’s most well-known coffees. This natural-processed coffee is dried on raised beds, allowing the fruit to infuse the beans with intense, fruit-forward complexity. The result is a bright, floral coffee with crisp citrus acidity and a tea-like body, making it a top choice for lovers of Ethiopian coffee.

 

Mushonyi Experimental FW (Rwanda): The Cutting Edge of Coffee Innovation

The Mushonyi Experimental FW is processed at the Mushonyi Washing Station near Lake Kivu in Rwanda, a region known for pioneering fermentation techniques. This fully washed coffee undergoes anaerobic fermentation, where cherries are sealed in an oxygen-free environment to enhance sweetness and complexity. The result is a bold, full-bodied coffee with a long-lasting aftertaste and delicate fermentation-driven flavor notes.

 

Isimbi FW (Rwanda): A Versatile and Clean Rwandan Bourbon

Isimbi, meaning “purity” in Kinyarwanda, is a carefully crafted fully washed coffee that delivers a consistently high-quality cup. Grown by smallholder farmers and processed using meticulous wet fermentation techniques, this coffee offers a balanced, clean cup with sweet and fruity notes. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for both espresso and filter brewing.

 

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe West Arsi: The Hidden Gem of Ethiopian Coffee

Unlike the more widely recognized Yirgacheffe region, West Arsi is an emerging Ethiopian coffee-growing area that blends traditional Ethiopian heirloom and JARC varieties. This washed coffee with slight fermentation has a bright and complex flavor profile, featuring notes of prune, citrus, stone fruit, and a deep chocolatey sweetness. Grown at high elevations, this coffee offers exceptional depth and balance.

 

Ethiopia Sidama Taferi Kela: A Single-Farm Showcase of Ethiopian Excellence

Most Ethiopian coffees come from cooperatives that blend cherries from multiple farmers, but Taferi Kela stands out as a single-farm coffee. This allows for meticulous control over farming, harvesting, and processing, preserving the purity of flavor. The extended slow-dry natural process intensifies the fruit-forward complexity, resulting in a cup bursting with red and orange fruit flavors.

 

Finca Miramar (El Salvador): Volcanic Soil Meets Specialty Coffee

Finca Miramar is grown in nutrient-rich volcanic soil near the San Salvador Volcano, producing a distinctively bold and fruit-forward coffee. The natural processing method, where cherries are sun-dried with their fruit intact, enhances the coffee’s sweetness and depth of flavor. With notes of red fruits, tart cranberry, and smooth chocolate, this coffee is a well-rounded choice for those who enjoy a rich and flavorful cup.

Each of these coffees represents the hard work, innovation, and dedication of farmers and producers across the globe.
