"LIMITED" COLOMBIA - Nestor Lasso Sidra (Honey)

SO THIS HAPPENED!

I am super hyped to share a special coffee with you from a producer you may have heard of by now. Nestor Lasso has been CRUSHING it over the past few years and had produced some really interesting lots that have really caught the attention of the coffee industry! 

Earlier this year Nestor came over to London Coffee Festival with the Cata Export homies and it was legit to meet him and hang for a bit. 

I have chosen to bring in his 'honey processed bourbon sidra' to showcase as it gave me a cup profile and a challenge in roasting that I haven't experienced before. And I am SOOOOOO buzzed with the result. It's a bright coffee that's a mix of sunny days and late night beach hangs! And it's another Limited run! So don't hang about homies. 

RAAAAAAAAAAD 🤙

**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.

Then, 3 years ago, Cat & Pierre, founders of CATA Export and the 3 producers started a journey of trial and error to define the fermentation processes and protocols at the farm, with the aim to linked these coffees directly to the UK market. This learning process has been time and money consuming but with an exciting outcome as today these coffees have been used in many barista competitions across Europe.

ABOUT PROCESS

Here we are! Process is ready to share and you're all welcome to get involved.  

I'm Ben. A coffee professional and lover of rad stuff. Based in Belfast NI, and rocking a wife and 2 kids 😎 They make me suuuuper happy! I have been working in coffee for a while now. It's the best. The last 3 years have been spent as a co founder and project/general manager at a shop called Guilt Trip. I have also spent this time meeting, collaborating and creating with some of the raddest people I know. 

With Process I want to connect people to this beautiful world of coffee, and tell stories as I work with brands and the people behind them. Everyone has a story to tell right?! And in the coffee world the stories are usually pretty interesting. On this new platform I want to offer a place of connection, a hub for collaboration and a destination for your higher level coffee experience. To help do this I have intentionally curated a supply of products that I think are awesome and rep worthy. It aint much, but I want this to all make sense. These are only the brands and products that I use, rate super highly, and love to shout about! I hope you're into them. Selling them also puts food on the table soooo that's kinda neat too 

All products stocked are considered and selected for you and your daily adventures. Whether that's your barista get up, your next trip, the hike supplies, or just the stuff you need to just get you through that afternoon slump.
