Colombia Sebastian Gomez La Divisa

• Contains one bag (150 g) of Colombia Sebastian Gomez La Divisa, Arabica whole coffee bean.

• A 100% microlot Gesha passionately grown by the La Divisa farm in Colombia. Uniquely processed with lactic fermentation, which involves harvested coffee fruit being exposed to aerobic fermentation for 24 hours before being placed in Grainpro bags for anaerobic fermentation for 90 hours. Producer Sebastian Gomez highlights that this is to create conditions where bacteria feed well on carbohydrates in the fruit, leading to a higher formation of lactic acid. The coffee is then placed on raised beds for sun drying until 11% moisture content is achieved, producing exceptionally fruity and floral coffee flavours altogether.

• Preparation Methods: from French press to pour-over to espresso, the grinder you use and the water from your tap can alter the taste of the cup. In essence, this is a Gesha cultivar known for its exceptional clarity of fruitiness and florality, enhanced further with lactic fermentation.

• Available in light and medium roast offerings. Light is the one to go for; medium is tailor-suited better for espresso.

• Freshly roasted to order, dispatch within 2 business days.
