About the producer

Sebastian Gomez hails from a long line of coffee growers, and he, along with his father, owns La Divisa Farm, a 13-hectare estate situated at an altitude of 1,700 meters in Circasia, Quindío. Their farm is adorned with beautiful shade trees like Guamo, Guayacan, Gualandai, and Nogal.

Sebastian, a young farmer, and his wife are actively involved in both coffee cultivation and administrative tasks. His father, John, boasts over 30 years of experience in the coffee industry, overseeing the family’s coffee farms since acquiring La Divisa in 1995. Sebastian’s deeper immersion into coffee began in 2014 when he returned to Colombia. Inspired by the specialty coffee movement abroad, he decided to shift their focus towards specialty coffee and planted varieties such as Geisha and Pink Bourbon. Sebastian reflected on their journey, acknowledging the patience required for their hard work to bear fruit. It took three years for their efforts to yield marvelous results.

The 24kg microlot they’ve obtained is exclusively Geisha, a varietal initially discovered in Abyssinia, Ethiopia in 1931. It later found its way to Colombia in 2005 before gaining fame in Panama where it was distributed in the 1960’s.

Anyone who read the book by the adventurer Michaele Weissman knows about the one cup that tasted so good, that he saw ‘God in a Cup’ (sidenote, it’s worth a read!) Since then the hype has been un-stopped and rightfully so. It is associated with extremely high cup quality when the plants are managed well at high altitude, and is known for its delicate floral, jasmine, and peach-like aromas.
