Over years of refinement, the Lasso family at Finca El Diviso has standardized their process. Cherries are picked at peak ripeness and floated to remove any under-ripe cherries. They begin with 48 hours of open-air oxidative fermentation in tanks that collect mucilage (mosto), enhancing fruit notes and acidity. After depulping, the seeds undergo 24 hours of dry fermentation in sealed 200L containers to highlight floral and citrus qualities. The mosto is then diluted and added back for 24 hours at 16–17°C to build body and balance acidity. Fermentation is halted with a 65°C thermal shock, then rinsed cold. After a single wash, the coffee is sun-dried 2–3 days and finished in a dehumidifier at 36–37°C for 20–30 hours. -Paraphrased from Shared Source

Bruselas, Huila, Colombia

Jose Lasso originally hails from Nariño, and his family moved to Huila- first to San Agustín, where they worked cutting sugarcane and producing panela, and later to Pitalito as coffee pickers. Jose saved enough to purchase the family farm Finca El Diviso 29 years ago. When he first bought the farm, they only had 1.5 hectares of land, but over the years he purchased neighboring parcels, and the farm now measures 17 hectares, including 1 hectare of natural forest reserve.
As recently as seven or eight years ago, the farm was planted with traditional varieties, and all of the coffee was sold commercially, sometimes even as wet parchment. But along with his sons Adrian, Nestor and Jhonathan, Jose decided to focus on specialty coffee production to escape the volatility of commodity prices and improve their family’s quality of life.
These days, 80% of the farm is planted with “exotic” varieties- gesha, sidra, yellow bourbon, bourbon aji and obligón- and the remaining 20% maintains traditional varieties.

The tabi trees at El Diviso were planted six years ago. There are about 5,000 tabi trees- most have red cherries, but some produce yellow or even pink tabi cherries.
