SWEET SOAKER - Colombia
Tasting Notes
Description
El Diviso is a specialty coffee farm in Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, co-founded by Nestor and Adrian Lasso after they took over their family farms and partnered with Jhoan Vergara. Together, they’ve transformed their operation into a hub for innovative coffee processing, notably producing the Yellow Papayo natural process coffee with distinct flavors of passion fruit and sweet cherries. The farm sits at 1750 meters above sea level and is shaded by native and fruit trees, with meticulous post-harvest practices that include anaerobic fermentation and controlled drying. Their success has been closely tied to their collaboration with Cata Export, a company that has provided technical guidance, market access, and training through Colombia’s top coffee school, SENA. This partnership has not only elevated the quality of their coffee—earning accolades in European barista competitions—but also empowered young farmers like Nestor to pursue sustainable and rewarding careers in specialty coffee.
