Generations of Innovation at El Diviso:
The name El Diviso might sound familiar. Founded by Jose Uribe Lasso in Bruselas, Huila, the farm has gained a dedicated following over the years. Ruby’s relationship with Jose Uribe Lasso, who is also a member of the cooperative Los Guacharos, began in 2019. After several years of sourcing from Los Guacharos, we purchased our first single-farmer lot produced by a member of the group—a caturra varietal separation from Jose Uribe Lasso's Finca El Diviso. Since then, we have roasted five distinct lots from his farm. Back in 2019, we wrote how excited we were about the varietal separations and fermentation experiments happening at El Diviso, hoping to roast these unique lots from the farm in the future.
Today, Jose Uribe’s grandson Nestor Lasso and his brother Adrian, are front and center in El Diviso’s operations and are recognized as modern innovators in specialty coffee. Over three generations, their family has transformed El Diviso into a boutique powerhouse. This has been achieved through the developing standardized processes, continuously investing in infrastructure and high-quality varieties, and performing experimentation with precision, all driven by a commitment to quality. The result is unique, high-quality coffees like this one.
Nestor Lasso gives a glimpse into each step in the alternative processing he employs for this coffee, beginning with the typical step of floating and sorting cherries to ensure ripeness. After two stages of fermentation, one anaerobic and one with oxygen, the cherries are depulped, leaving the seed with mucilage. They are then moved to another tank where leachates from previous ferments are added back in and the beans undergo two more stages of fermentation, one frequently stirred allowing oxygen in and one fully submerged without oxygen. Finally, the beans are washed with hot water to stop fermentation and remove mucilage. They are mechanically dried for 36 hours for maximum control.
The java variety has been recognized for exceptional quality at high altitudes, and we typically love roasting this variety to bring out its soft and balanced profile. This particular El Diviso Java maintains a refined quality with pleasant herbal notes, tingly acidity, and light fruit sweetness, but with an intensity that is amplified by the anaerobic processing. This coffee is meant to be savored.
