Nestor Lasso, the 24 year old producer from El Diviso farm, is a third generation farmer who produces with his family’s dream in mind. The vision was to save up, transform the farm and produce a breadth of coffees. “We were able to build the infrastructure to process differentiated coffees; searching for better quality, both in coffee and our lives”. Today, the farm grows a plethora of varieties and has built and invested in experimentation of processing. Discover the naturally and anaerobically processed red bourbon from Nestor – the unique and sparkling result of his family’s dream.

Nestor Lasso’s El Diviso farm covers 18 hectares and is filled with lush forest that is home to 80,000 coffee trees, growing at altitudes between 1700-1850 metres. The farm carries a great diversity of varietals, currently home to Caturra, Colombia, Castillo, Tabi, Pink Bourbon, Red Bourbon, Yellow Bourbon, Bourbon Ají, Caturra Chiroso, Geisha, Sidra, Java, Pacamara. Nestor uses fully washed, semi washed and natural methods to process his coffee – to dry coffee Nestor uses parabolic dryers, raised African beds and some mechanical drying methods.

Nestor says, “We are the third generation that has been growing coffee. Our grandfather, José Uribe, was the founder of the farm El Diviso. With the work of all the family and constant saving we were able to build the infrastructure to process differentiated coffees; searching for better quality, both in coffee and our lives. After a long trial and error period we managed to standardise different processes, getting a better income in order to plant new varieties that allowed us to have better quality. One of our dreams is to produce speciality coffee that reaches all the world.”
