The history of Finca Las Flores began in 1990 when Edilberto and Nubia, originally from the department of Cundinamarca, decided to settle in Acevedo, Huila. Years later, the farm was renovated and dedicated to the production of specialty coffees, applying science and technology to achieve high quality standards. Today, Jhoan and his brother Diego manage Finca Las Flores, demonstrating that the new generations of coffee growers are ready to take on the challenge.
Finca El Diviso is a family enterprise that has been producing coffee for around 25 years. This project was initiated by Jose Uribe Lasso, and in the last five years, they have focused on the production of specialty coffee, forming a family and friends work team, managing to standardize processing protocols that allow them to ensure quality of their lots.
The two brothers have partnered with Jhoan Vergara to create El Diviso. El Diviso brings together the two family farms, El Diviso owned by Néstor and Adrián Lasso, and Las Flores owned by Jhoan Vergara, near the town of Pitalito in the Huila region of Colombia. This partnership was excellent as these three young individuals combined their knowledge to improve quality. In this partnership, they have started processing regional batches this year, buying cherries from their neighbours and processing them at Finca El Diviso.
