Meet Ombligón, a rare, little-known Arabica variety named after its distinctive “belly-button” dimple. Grown at extreme elevations at the El Diviso estate, this flagship varietal matures slowly, allowing complex sugars to concentrate into an intensely nuanced cup.
An absolute flavour bomb. What waits for you is a bright, medium-bodied masterpiece bursting with vibrant tropical fruits. Expect a rush of tart pineapple and sweet guava, followed by the playful, nostalgic sweetness of strawberry laces. This unforgettable variety owes its pristine clarity to El Diviso’s rigorous micro-lot sorting and our own precision in-house roasting, a chain of uncompromising care dedicated entirely to unlocking its vibrant taste potential.
High in the volcanic peaks of Huila, Colombia, brothers Néstor and Adrián Lasso are leading a specialty coffee revolution. El Diviso has transitioned from a traditional family farm into a boundary-pushing experimental estate, dedicated entirely to rare varietals and innovative micro-lots.
By pairing Huila’s perfect high-altitude climate with rigorous cherry selection, advanced fermentation protocols, and precision drying, El Diviso produces unforgettable coffee experiences.
The Science Behind the Flavour
Controlled Oxidation & Depulping: Cherries are oxidised to activate complex flavour pathways, then depulped with wild mucilage intact to enrich the fermentation process.
Anaerobic Fermentation: A strictly monitored, oxygen-free fermentation that coaxes out bright citrus, red-fruit acidity, and rare varietal aromatics.
Thermal Shock Wash: A cutting-edge technique using heated water to instantly freeze the aromatic profile in place, resulting in cup clarity.
Precision Drying: Meticulously dried on raised beds with dehumidification technology to a perfect 10%-11% moisture level, ensuring every nuance of flavour is preserved.
