023 LAS MORAS

Las Moras comes from Pitalito in Huila, Colombia. This one is interesting, not just the coffee itself but the people behind it. Nestor and Adrian Lasso, the brothers behind El Diviso, buy coffee cherries from neighbouring farms and apply the processing knowledge they’ve been developing on their own. The coffee goes through two stages of fermentation, first with oxygen, then without. A thermal shock treatment follows to help preserve the flavour profile. Experimenting, recording, checking, and doing it all again. Making something unusual is one thing. Making it good, consistently, takes many much more work. The brothers are also part of a group of producers who share knowledge and resources with each other. Learning together, getting better together. We really really like that. The result is this funky fruity super disco coffee with a bunch of tropical sweetness.
