Notes from Bodhi Leaf:
Finca El Diviso sits in the Normandía village of Pitalito, Huila, and it's one of the farms we're most excited to be working with. Brothers Néstor and Adrián Lasso took over their family's 18-hectare farm about eight years ago — in their early twenties — and made a deliberate choice to go a different direction than traditional Colombian coffee farming. Where their parents grew Caturra and Castillo, Néstor and Adrián dove headfirst into exotic varieties and experimental processing, turning El Diviso into one of the most talked-about specialty producers in the country. Néstor puts it simply: he saw specialty coffee as a real path forward, both economically and as a craft, and committed fully. The farm now grows an impressive range of varietals — Chiroso, Sidra, Geisha, Pacamara, Pink Bourbon, and more — each processed with the same obsessive attention to detail. We're proud to partner with them and share what they're doing with you.
This Chiroso from Finca El Diviso is the kind of coffee that reminds you why process matters. Grown at 1850 meters in the hills of Pitalito, Huila, the producers put serious care into every stage — from hand-selecting only ripe cherries to a multi-phase fermentation that includes anaerobic resting and submerged fermentation with recirculated leachates from the same lot. Drying happens in a controlled stainless steel chamber that keeps temperatures below 37°C, preserving the delicate aromatics that make Chiroso so special. Expect notes of Concord grape, plum, and mint. We're proud to partner with the team at El Diviso to bring this one to you.
