100% Kona Gesha Green Coffee — Natural Process

Frequency:

Estate-grown. Natural Process. Unroasted and ready for home or professional roasting.

Our 100% Kona Gesha Green Coffee is produced exclusively from the celebrated Gesha—also spelled Geisha—coffee variety grown on our family farm in South Kona, Hawaiʻi.

This rare green coffee is intended for home roasters, professional roasters, cafés, and specialty-coffee buyers seeking a highly traceable Kona coffee with the potential for elegant floral aromatics, layered fruit, and honeyed sweetness.

The coffee is delivered unroasted, milled, and ready for roasting.

Natural Process Gesha Coffee

Ripe Gesha coffee cherries are hand-picked and carefully dried whole, with the coffee seed remaining inside the fruit throughout the drying process. This method is known as the Natural Process, also called the dry or fruit-dried process.

Drying the coffee inside the whole fruit can encourage greater fruit intensity, aromatic complexity, and natural sweetness. After drying and resting, the fruit and protective layers are removed, and the green coffee is prepared and optically sorted before shipment.

Expected Roast Potential

Depending on the roast profile, brewing method, and extraction, this coffee may develop:

  • Light roast: Jasmine, pear, apple, delicate citrus, and floral aromatics

  • Medium-light roast: Berries, mango, honey, layered fruit, and balanced sweetness

These are naturally occurring flavor possibilities associated with the Gesha variety, our South Kona growing environment, the Natural Process, and the selected roast profile. No flavors, sweeteners, or additives are used.

Because coffee is an agricultural product, the final cup profile may vary by harvest, roast development, equipment, water, grind, and brewing method.

Choose This Green Coffee If You Prefer

  • A rare, estate-grown 100% Kona Gesha.

  • Floral and fruit-forward roast potential.

  • Natural Process green coffee.

  • Complete single-farm traceability.

  • Developing and refining your own roast profiles.

  • Coffee grown, processed, prepared, and shipped directly from the producing farm.

Recommended Roasting Approach

A light to medium-light roast is the best starting point for preserving the Gesha variety’s delicate floral aromatics and layered fruit character.

Begin with a small test batch, document your roast settings, and adjust the heat application, airflow, and development time according to your equipment. Excessive roast development may reduce the floral and fruit characteristics that distinguish Gesha coffee.

Always follow the operating and safety instructions provided by your roasting-equipment manufacturer.

Important: Roasting Required

These are unroasted green coffee beans. Green coffee must be roasted before it can be ground or brewed.

After roasting, allow the coffee to rest before evaluating or brewing it. The ideal resting period will depend on the roast level and your preferred brewing method.

Farm-Direct Traceability

This coffee is grown, hand-picked, Natural processed, milled, optically sorted, packaged, and shipped directly from Aloha Star 100% Kona Coffee Farm in South Kona, Hawaiʻi.
