This coffee is from the renowned El Diviso - a family farm which was taken over by brothers, Nestor and Adrian Lasso 5 years ago. In the beginning, unlike their parents, they began branching out in to specialty and over the years they have gone on to grow coffee that has been showcased about the world over. More recently they have partnered with Jhoan Vergara, also the child of a coffee farmer, to create the El Diviso we know today - 3 young producers keen on pooling their knowledge to improve quality.

This particular lot was picked and then put in to open tanks before being oxidised for 48 hours. The tanks are then emptied and any defective beans removed. The next stage is to rinse the cherries with heated water and then transferred to tanks where they are sprayed with brewers yeast before being sealed and left for 38 hours. Once this stage is complete, the cherries are then dried mechanically for approximately 12 hours before being transferred to plastic bags and left to stabilise for 2 days. The final step is another 15 days of drying, until reaching the required 10.5-11.5% moisture content.

In the cup you'll find flavour notes of lemon, candied cherry and floral characteristics. Expect a sweet, fruit-forward coffee.
