Nestor Lasso (Filter)

Nestor Lasso, 22, represents El Diviso, a family farm in southwestern Colombia run by himself, his brother Adrian and his father Jose. While Adrian and Jose manage the farm's day-to-day practices, Nestor's main focus is the tasting laboratory, where he samples roasts and cups and explores new possibilities for fermentation processes and profiles.

El Diviso's philosophy is to be progressive, discovering new methods to improve cup quality while respecting traditions. The farm rigorously experiments with treatments, fermentation and the different micro-organisms in coffee to create what they hope will be unique, world-renowned cup profiles.
