About El Diviso
Jose Uribe Lasso founded the El Diviso operation and continues to produce stand-out coffees alongside his children and grandchildren. With years of experience in the industry alongside the work of the entire family (plus consistent saving of their $$), the Lasso family was able to build the infrastructure to carry out a very meticulous processing that differentiated them from the many coffees that come from the Huila region in Colombia.
This process is highly particular and standardized now, but that only came with years of trial and error to find the magic combo that produces some incredibly complex and highly unique flavor profiles. We’ll give you a quick overview of this processing technique, so you can get an idea of just how measured and precise it is.
After floating to select only the best cherries, they are anaerobically (without oxygen) fermented for 40 hours at a very specific temperature. Then, comes a series of oxidations and fermentations for very specific amounts of time at very specific temperatures ending with their signature ‘thermal shock’ of very hot water to finish before the coffee is dried at a specific temperature until exactly 11% moisture within the coffee bean is reached. (Whew!! We’re basically coffee scientists now!)
We’ve had a few different varieties from the Lasso Family and we’re thrilled to offer another beaut — pink bourbon. It’s juicy & floral, sweet & silky, a treat we want to keep sippin’ on.

Brewing Recommendation
While we strive to roast our coffees to be enjoyable using any brewing method, try El Diviso on V60 for a clean and crisp brew or Kalita for a slightly more full-bodied expression.
Kalita Brewing Ratio - 1:16 [i.e. 25g coffee and 400g water]
V60 Brewing Ratio - 1:16 [i.e. 25g coffee and 400g water]
We ship almost all orders same or next day, Monday-Friday. We ship via USPS and typically orders take 2-5 days arrive. (But, as you may know, once we drop your package off, shipping times are out of our control.)
The coffee is usually roasted within one business day (Monday-Friday) of shipment. We recommend waiting at least 3-4 days after the roasting date before brewing. (And we think the sweet spot is around 2 weeks!)
All our coffees will be somewhere in the vicinity of a light to medium roast.
The way we approach roasting coffees is called 'profile roasting' meaning that we create a unique roasting profile for each coffee based on the characteristics of each bean (density, size, moisture level within the bean, etc) and how it reacts while roasting so that we can get what we believe to be the best expression possible for each of our coffees!
Lucky for you, any of our coffees can be brewed as espresso!
We aim to roast our coffee so that it tastes great in a variety of brew methods. (Fun fact: espresso is a brew method, not a type of coffee bean!)
If one of our offerings sounds good to you, we bet you’ll like it on espresso too! But, we always like to suggest Tres Banderas as a starting point for espresso.
No, most of our coffees aren’t ‘certified’ organic. But!! That doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not grown using organic processes. For many of the farms/mills that we purchase coffee from, the cost of the certification could put them out of business — new and separate equipment, cost of application process, the time spent going through certification (multiple years), etc. You can read more on the topic in our blog post here.
We are not officially fair trade certified and typically do not purchase Fair Trade certified coffees. We believe the system is a good one, and has helped many farmers and families earn a better living, however, one thing it does not address well is quality of product, and we typically pay much higher prices for higher quality.
Fair trade usually offers farmers a small premium (about $.40) on top of whatever the current market price for coffee is. We either work directly with producers or importers that already pay well above Fair Trade prices for high quality coffees. We pay top prices for great coffees regardless of any certification. Please feel free toreach out to us if you have any other questions regarding our buying practices.
