Colombia El Diviso Ombligon Filter - Single Origin.
In 2024, this coffee was used to win the Australian Brewers Cup, and it is with much excitement now in 2025 that we release the newest and freshest harvest of this incredible coffee from the Lasso Family.
José Uribe, is the founder of El Diviso and runs the farm with his sons Nestor and Adrian. Over the years they were able to build the infrastructure to process differentiated coffees; searching for better quality, both in coffee & their lives. El diviso in many ways is an ideal picture of what coffee farming is in Colombia, with the next generation gladly following in their predecessors’ footsteps & paving the way towards the future of coffee.
This coffee lot undergoes an extensive processing procedure. It begins with harvesting ripe cherries, followed by washing with hypochlorite to remove impurities. After 24 hours of oxidation to enhance fruit flavours, anaerobic fermentation occurs for 200 hours in a bioreactor. Subsequent oxidation for 40 hours aims to reach a temperature of 50°C before quenching with cold water; slowing down the fermentation by diluting and reducing the microbial load. The coffee is then dried in a hermetically sealed steel dehumidifier until reaching 18% moisture content, followed by a rest period and further drying to 11%. This meticulous drying process, known as 'Pristine Precision Drying,' ensures optimal flavour retention and quality preservation.
Ombligon is the localized term used for this variety. It is rare varietal and a domesticated mutation from an Ethiopian Landrace, a genetic group of Arabica coffees originally from Ethiopia. This years coffee retains its abundant floral aromas, vibrant red fruit acidity, cider effervescence and distinct candied notes; reminiscent of bubble gum, grape, and mint
