Kindred Coffee
Nestor Lasso Ombligon
5 years ago, Nestor Lasso and his brother Adrian took over the family farm and branched out into specialty coffee and experimentation rather than growing coffee like their parents. Today, at 22 and 24, the two brothers have teamed up with Jhoan Vergara, also the child of a coffee farmer, to create El Diviso. El Diviso brings together the two-family farms, El Diviso (Nestor and Adrian Lasso) and Las Flores (Jhoan Vergara), close to the town of Pitalito, in the Huila region of Colombia. This partnership was great as these 3 young guys united their knowledge to improve quality.
Ombligon comes from "ombligo", the Spanish word for belly button. It’s a local name for a variety that has a belly button-like shape. The exact origin of this variety is unclear. Some conjecture that it is a new variety that was selected from varieties growing at an abandoned CENICAFE research center in Huila. Others think it may be another term for Pacamara. Whatever the true origin of the Ombligon variety it produces an extremely complex, sweet and high flavour intensity cup.
