La Divisa, Colombia / Filter

Sebastian Gomez, a young and innovative coffee farmer, comes from a traditional coffee-growing family. Together with his father, John, he runs La Divisa Farm, a 13-hectare property nestled at 1,700 meters above sea level in Circasia, Quindío. Surrounded by shade trees like Guamo, Guayacan, Gualandai, and Nogal, the farm has been a labor of love for John since 1995. With over 30 years of experience, John now works alongside Sebastian and his wife, combining tradition and modernity to create exceptional coffee.

After returning to Colombia in 2014, Sebastian was inspired by the specialty coffee movement he had witnessed abroad. He and his family shifted their focus from volume to quality, planting varieties like Geisha and Pink Bourbon. Their patience and commitment paid off, and three years later, they began to see remarkable results. Sebastian reflects on the evolving industry, emphasizing the demand for differentiated coffees and his mission to meet these expectations.
