This coffee is the latest harvest of one of our most popular coffees of last year… And the flavour profile is even more breathtaking than the last.
Grown in limited quantities in the Huila region only and known for its distinctive “navel” at the base of the bean (hence the name ‘Ombligon’ – Spanish for ‘belly button’), this variety is a natural genetic mutation that typically offers intense fruitiness and heady aromas.
This specific lot has had the full El Diviso post-harvest treatment – a multi-step process of temperature-controlled fermentations, brewer’s yeast inoculation and thermal shock water rinsing.
The result is a cup that you’ll never forget – a wild drop that will linger long in the memory. It’s intense, vibrant and wholly expressive of a naturally complex coffee processed with pioneering methods.

After bloom, pour to 100g. Pause until the waterline hits the coffee bed and then repeat three more times to 250g. Again, pour quickly, carefully and in a circular motion.
Tip: Swirl brewer a few times during bloom to encourage saturation of coffee bed.
Featuring multi-step methods to help you make your coffee taste better, this guide is the helping hand that will help you to efficiently unlock the full flavour potential of your beans.
Nestor Lasso’s reputation as one of the world’s most influential coffee producers has been founded on a consistent stream of coffees that challenge existing understanding of the flavour potential of coffee.
For the past seven years, Nestor, his brother and Jhoan Vergara (himself an established producer) have grown coffees under the El Diviso umbrella. During this time, the two brothers enrolled on a government-funded education programme delivered by SENA – an organisation providing training and support to Colombia’s new generation of coffee producers.
Three years ago, the three began working with Colombian coffee exporter Cata Export to research new fermentation protocols that would produce coffees for the UK and European markets.
The results have been fruitful – coffees from El Diviso have won multiple international barista competitions, and Nestor particularly has become synonymous with coffees wild and wonderful.
