Five years ago, Nestor and Adrian Lasso took over their family farm in Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, venturing into coffee. Today, aged just 23 and 25 respectively, the brothers have teamed up with fellow producer Jhoan Vergara to create El Diviso.

As a case study in the passion and drive of young producers of specialty coffee, this Nestor Lasso 2024 is the result of many years of impassioned dedication and knowledge development.

Three years ago, Cat and Pierre, founders of CATA Export, joined forces with the trio to refine their fermentation processes and directly connect their coffees to the burgeoning UK market. This collaboration has paid off, with El Diviso’s coffees now featured in barista competitions across Europe, including winning 1st place at Brewers Cup in Ireland, and 3rd in Austria. This incredible partnership exemplifies the enriching process of working directly with farms, fostering relationships that benefit the entire coffee community.

El Diviso's specialty coffee undergoes a meticulous production process. Cherries are harvested at a brix range of 13-16°, classified by floating, and then disinfected. They are then oxidised for 24 hours, pulped, and fermented for another 24 hours before drying under parabolic shade for 15 days. This results in a washed coffee with vibrant fruit flavours and complexity, a testament to the dedication and passion of Nestor, Adrian, and Jhoan.
