Imagine holding a cup that smells of fruit and sweets from an exotic market. The first sip reveals mangosteen and raspberries, which blend gracefully with the rich flavor of chocolate fondant. Gradually, the delicate sweetness of banana and a spicy pinch of nutmeg are added. Finally, you will be surprised by a fresh hint of hibiscus, which lingers pleasantly in your mouth. This is a coffee that can turn every drink into a little experience. This Colombian coffee was roasted in South Korea by the Fritz Coffee Company.
Behind this flavor is the Colombian farm El Diviso, located in the Pitalito area of the Huila region. Producer Nestor Lasso continues the family tradition here, but at the same time strives to bring innovation and new approaches. The Chiroso variety he grows originates in the more remote parts of Antioquia and is not easy to cultivate. This makes it all the more noteworthy, as Lasso has managed to transform this variety into a coffee with a complex, juicy, and unmistakable profile.
The natural or dry method used for this coffee involves drying whole cherries in the sun, which concentrates the sweetness in the beans and creates a full-bodied flavor. This method brings not onlyintense fruity notes to the final cup, but also a delicate floral line and natural sweetness. El Diviso Chiroso Natural is an example of how traditional techniques can be combined with the courage of farmers to create a coffee that captivates from the first sip to the last lingering note.
