About Ombligon

Ombligon is the localised term used for this Ethiopian Landrace variety. Ombligo is belly button in Spanish, which is why locals refer to this variety the way they do — the cherry has a belly. It is rare to find, and there is talk that the variety arrived in Colombia from Central America, but there is no record of the precise provenance nor date.

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.

Nestor Lasso

Nestor Lasso is a leading figure in Colombia’s new wave of experimental coffee producers. Based at his family’s farm, El Diviso, in Pitalito, Huila, Nestor blends deep local knowledge with a scientific mindset, focusing on fermentation control, varietal expression, and consistency. His work has helped position El Diviso as a reference point for competition-level Colombian coffee.

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. His coffees are celebrated for their clarity, vibrancy, and layered sweetness, and are frequently selected for national and international competitions.
