Colombia - Finca El Porvenir Geisha Washed

Finca El Porvenir was founded in 2008 out of a deep respect for the land. Managed by Camilo Segura alongside Cecilia Almonacid and their family, the Colombian estate has quickly grown into an 80,000-square-meter farm nestled within the Andean cloud forest at 1,800 masl.

Situated at the perfect elevation, the Colombian highlands’ volcanic soils, cool temperatures, and slow cherry maturation give the farm’s coffees a distinctive character. Meanwhile, the agroecological practices such as native shade trees and organic fertilization that Camilo and his family adopted help preserve the environment that makes it all possible.

This thoughtful approach has earned widespread recognition. At the 2025 Land of Diversity auction, Finca El Porvenir achieved the Highest Bid, 1st Place for Acidity, 2nd Place for Balance, and 3rd Place for both Softness and Exotic. The estate has also been celebrated at the Cup of Excellence, placing 2nd in 2020 and earning 5th Place and a Presidential Award in 2019.

Every cup from Finca El Porvenir begins with meticulous attention to process. Whether it is their natural or washed coffees, only carefully selected ripe cherries are plucked from the branch. This close monitoring of coffee cherries ensures every lot is at the height of its flavor potential.

Washed coffees are washed and sorted before undergoing extended fermentations designed to deepen clarity and complexity in the final profile. Depending on the lot, this may include prolonged cold-water or open-air fermentation before depulping, followed by a secondary resting period that further refines the coffee’s character.

Drying is approached with the same precision. The beans are slowly dried on raised African beds before finishing under carefully controlled conditions, allowing moisture to reduce gradually while preserving sweetness, structure, and aromatic nuance.
