This coffee is from the renowned El Diviso - a family farm which was taken over by brothers, Nestor and Adrian Lasso 5 years ago. In the beginning, unlike their parents, they began branching out in to specialty and over the years they have gone on to grow coffee that has been showcased about the world over. More recently they have partnered with Jhoan Vergara, also the child of a coffee farmer, to create the El Diviso we know today - 3 young producers keen on pooling their knowledge to improve quality.
This coffee is a rare varietal of which not much is understood. It is suggested that it is related to the Ethiopian heirloom varietal, though some propose that it’s simply a local, colloquial phrase for pacamara. What is certain is that the name ombligon originates from the elongated shape of the bean, and a belly-button-shaped nodule on its base.
