Five years ago, brothers Nestor and Adrian Lasso took over the family farm and moved from traditional coffee farming to speciality coffee and experimental methods. They are the third generation of the family to have grown coffee. Their grandfather José Uribe was the founder of the El Diviso farm. Through the work of the whole family and constant savings, they have been able to build the infrastructure to process a variety of coffees; they are constantly searching for better quality in both coffee and life. After a long period of trial and error, they have managed to standardise the different processes and obtain better incomes, so that they can plant new varieties, which will also allow them to achieve better quality.

As Colombia embraces the specialty coffee revolution, Nestor envisions a future where every cup tells a story of dedication, craftsmanship and the transformative power of passion.

“One of our dreams is to produce a speciality coffee that reaches the whole world. The current high price of coffee appeals to many, but true success in specialty coffee comes from passion. Those driven by a genuine love of coffee will stand out and be committed to continuous learning and improvement.”

-Nestor Lasso

About the farm El Diviso

In the serene landscapes of Huila, Colombia, a journey of innovation and dedication began five years ago at El Diviso. Nestor Lasso and his brother Adrian dared to break away from convention, delving into the realm of specialty coffee production. Their collaboration with Jhoan Vergara led to the birth of El Diviso, merging two family farms in a picturesque union.

Three years ago, Cat & Pierre of CATA Export joined forces with the visionary producers at El Diviso. Together, they embarked on a quest to refine fermentation processes and protocols, elevating El Diviso’s coffees to international acclaim. Notable wins in prestigious barista competitions in Ireland and Austria solidified their position as pioneers in the world of specialty coffee.

Nestor wants to redefine the perception of Colombian coffee, delving into the sensory aspect of the coffee industry and mastering the art of cupping to ensure unparalleled quality. His journey, enriched by collaboration with pioneers in the field and various educational initiatives, embodies the spirit of innovation and passion that defines specialty coffee.
