Colombia Finca La Divisa Gesha Washed 60-Hour Fermentation Micro-Lot: A Rare Delight

FrontStreet Coffee - Colombia Finca La Divisa Washed 60-Hour Fermentation Geisha Micro-Batch

Finca La Divisa, located in Colombia, is owned by Elcias, one of the first producers to join the well-known 90+ specialty coffee project run by Colombia's leading exporters. The opportunity let him travel to the United States, meet green coffee buyers and roasters, and build a deeper understanding of the market.

This season we bring you a washed Geisha micro-batch from Finca La Divisa. Grown at an altitude of 1,800 meters, its sweetness is lifted by the wide temperature swing between day and night.

This micro-batch Geisha goes through a 60-hour washed fermentation. Compared with standard washed processing, the method adds a dry fermentation stage and extends the fermentation time, which sharpens flavor clarity and draws more sweetness out of the coffee cherries. The result is a greener bean profile that is more elegant, sweeter, and more complex. The beans are then dried evenly for about 15 days, giving a cleaner and more consistent cup.

The floral character here is exceptionally rich, far beyond what you would expect at a similar price. In the cup you find the classic washed profile: floral notes, orange, plum, and green tea.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

If this washed Geisha's floral clarity is what you are after, FrontStreet's Emerald Red Label Gesha is the benchmark. Its formal name is Esmeralda Special, grown at 1,600-1,800 meters, and every lot must cup above 90 points, with each lot drawn from a single small plot so buyers can choose the tiny flavor differences they prefer. Expect refined orange-blossom honey, delicate floral lift, and a clean, layered finish that shows best as pour-over.

For a different reading of the same variety, FrontStreet's Gesha Village Gold Label comes from Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, and is a Gesha 1931 selection that makes up about 10% of the village's total production. Treated with a delicate natural process, it cups with remarkable complexity: distinctive dry aroma, a rich sip, and a long, lingering finish.
