The Project

Nestor Lasso and his brother Adrian decided to take a di erent approach from their parents and explore the world of specialty coffee and experimentation. Together Nestor & Jhoan Vergara, also from a coffee farming family, established El Diviso by combining their family farms.

This cooperation has improved the quality of their coffee, which has been recognized in various barista competitions across Europe. The partnership with Cat and Pierre from CATA Export was especially fruitful, as they collaborated on fermentation processes and protocols to produce award-winning coffees.

It has also helped to provide career opportunities for young producers to stay in the coffee industry and pursue their passion.

The Coffee

1. Selective Harvesting: Only fully ripe cherries are hand-picked to ensure sweetness, balance, and uniformity.

2. Controlled Fermentation: Fermentation is carefully monitored to preserve Chiroso’s aromatic delicacy while enhancing clarity and structure.

3. Washing & Mucilage Removal: The parchment is thoroughly washed to achieve a clean and transparent cup profile.

4. Drying & Stabilization: Slow drying under controlled conditions stabilizes sugars and integrates flavors before resting.
