El Diviso

El Diviso is a family-run coffee farm located in the highlands of Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, at elevations ranging from 1,750 to over 1,900 metres above sea level. Founded by Jose Uribe Lasso and now led by the next generation, El Diviso has become one of the most influential names in modern Colombian specialty coffee. The farm spans approximately 14 to 16 hectares and is dedicated to producing meticulously crafted microlots that reflect both terroir and process.

Under the leadership of Nestor and Adrian Lasso, El Diviso transitioned from traditional washed coffees into experimental, competition-level production. Today, the farm is known for rare varieties, advanced fermentation techniques, and repeatable processing protocols that have made its coffees favourites among top roasters and baristas worldwide. You can read the full El Diviso story on our blog.

Working closely with his brother Adrian and collaborators such as Jhoan Vergara of Las Flores, Nestor has refined processes including thermal shock, anaerobic fermentation, and cultured fermentations.
