Details

The Producer

Perched at 1,750–1,850 MASL in Pitalito, Huila, Finca El Diviso is a family-owned farm managed by Nestor Lasso and his family. Widely recognised for their innovative approach to specialty coffee, the Lassos combine generations of coffee-growing knowledge with meticulous experimentation — producing exceptional microlots that have earned serious international attention.

Surrounded by volcanic soils and the dramatic landscapes of southern Colombia, El Diviso provides the ideal environment for cultivating remarkable coffees. Nestor’s farm has become synonymous with variety exploration and process innovation, pushing the boundaries of what Colombian specialty coffee can express. This lot features the Typica Mejorado variety — celebrated for its complexity, elegance, and vibrant cup character — a worthy showcase of everything El Diviso stands for.

The Process

This lot is processed using Nestor Lasso’s Advanced Washed method — a carefully refined approach designed to highlight the clarity, structure, and unique qualities of the Typica Mejorado variety:

• 🍒 Selective hand-picking — Typica Mejorado cherries harvested at precise peak ripeness
• 🔧 Pulping — Outer skin carefully removed before fermentation
• 🧪 Advanced fermentation — Controlled fermentation with precise monitoring of variables
• 💧 Thorough washing — Washed to remove all mucilage, preserving cup clarity and structure
• ☀️ Raised-bed drying — Slowly dried to optimal moisture content, locking in aromatic development

The Advanced Washed process is the ideal vehicle for Typica Mejorado — stripping away everything that could obscure the variety’s inherent sweetness and complexity, delivering a cup of exceptional transparency and finesse.

The Cup

Melon and pineapple dominate with a bright, tropical sweetness that immediately distinguishes this coffee from more conventional lots. The high sweetness is balanced by a medium, well-integrated acidity that keeps every sip lively and refreshing, while the medium body with a silky texture carries the flavours across the palate with effortless elegance. Whether brewed as a filter or pulled as an espresso, this is a coffee that performs with equal grace in any method.
