The documented profile
Attributed descriptors, not measured flavor intensities. See the sources below.
Flavor families classify the listed descriptors; they are not intensity or quality scores. Character bands below explain what is documented and what is still unknown.
Reading the cup
Coffee character.
The outlined band shows the reported or estimated level. These describe the cup; higher is not better.
Roast level
Reported- Light
- Medium-light
- Medium
- Medium-dark
- Dark
Placed at the roast band given by the source. This is a label, not an instrument-measured roast color. Source ↗
What does roast level mean?
The roast degree of the bean; separate from sweetness, body and quality.
Acidity
Estimated · low confidence- Gentle
- Moderate
- Bright
Fruit descriptors with a lighter roast suggest a bright cup as a working hypothesis. Acidity intensity has not been measured. Reference for estimate ↗
What does acidity mean?
The perceived brightness or tartness of the cup, not a quality score.
Sweetness
Estimated · low confidence- Subtle
- Noticeable
- Pronounced
Without explicit sweet-associated descriptors, we provisionally expect subtler sweetness. Absence from the notes is weak evidence, so this estimate needs tasting. Reference for estimate ↗
What does sweetness mean?
How strong the sweet impression feels. Sweet-sounding notes can inform a guess, but do not measure its intensity.
Body / mouthfeel
Estimated · low confidence- Light
- Rounded
- Full
We provisionally expect a lighter texture alongside this lighter, fruit-led profile. Flavor and roast are weak clues to mouthfeel, so this needs tasting. Reference for estimate ↗
What does body / mouthfeel mean?
The perceived weight and texture of the coffee, separate from roast darkness.
Finish
Estimated · low confidence- Brief
- Sustained
- Lingering
A sustained finish is our low-confidence baseline in the absence of a duration description. The notes and processing do not establish how long the flavor lasts; tasting may move this band in either direction. Reference for estimate ↗
What does finish mean?
How long the flavors remain after a sip, rather than how good they are.
Coarse descriptive bands, not laboratory measurements or cupping category scores. Brewing changes the cup. Missing descriptions receive low-confidence editorial guesses, which can change after tasting.
Our take
El Diviso Gesha offers a citrus-and-herbal direction: Blaq’s selected descriptors are lemongrass, fig and grapefruit. If you want a light-roasted coffee with those references, this is a more specific starting point than buying on the Gesha name alone.
A useful comparison
The roaster identifies Finca El Diviso in Huila, Colombia, Geisha variety and double anaerobic washed processing. Compare El Diviso Landrace from the same farm and roaster: its documented profile points toward berries, lavender and apricot instead.
The common farm, roast band and broad process label make the pair interesting, but they do not establish identical fermentation, harvest or roasting conditions. It is a discovery comparison, not proof that variety alone caused the difference.
Reading the assessment
The listed 87.5/100 is a roaster-reported total under an unspecified SCA form version. No category sheet or tasting date is recorded. The half-point difference from Landrace is too little information to justify choosing one solely by score.
Before buying
Choose the described flavor direction first, then check current lot, roast date and delivered cost. A named cultivar and a high total are not guarantees of enjoyment. We have not tasted either coffee and cannot describe their actual finish or balance firsthand.
