El Diviso

Nestor Lasso

Small-scale producer

Five years ago, Nestor Lasso (22) and Adrian Lasso (24) took over their family farm, shifting to specialty coffee and experimentation. Partnering with Jhoan Vergara, they created El Diviso, uniting their farms, El Diviso and Las Flores, near Pitalito, Huila, Colombia. With CATA Export's founders Cat and Pierre, they refined fermentation protocols to connect directly with the UK market and are now growing into more regions. Their coffees have won awards, like 1st in Ireland’s Brewers Cup. This collaboration showcases CATA’s commitment to fostering young producers and economic growth.
