Fruit Forward Berry Ensemble
Beautifully encapsulates a variety of berry flavours within a fruit-forward coffee profile, evoking a diverse and harmonious ensemble of fruity notes. The art of producing a great fruit-forward coffee lies in achieving a balanced flavour profile. While the fruitiness is the highlight, it is harmoniously balanced with sweetness, body and a clean finish. This is the mark of skilled coffee processing.
About Typica Mejorado
Typica Mejorado — literally “improved Typica” — is one of the rarest varieties in specialty coffee, and one of the most misleadingly named. It was identified in Ecuador, where growers around Loja and Pichincha noticed a Typica-looking tree that cupped nothing like Typica at all. Later genetic work suggested the variety is not pure Typica but carries Ethiopian landrace material, placing it much closer to the Gesha family than to the Latin American lineage its appearance implies. The name stuck regardless, and the variety has since travelled from Ecuador into the experimental blocks of Colombia’s competition farms.
It is not an easy plant to farm. Typica Mejorado is low-yielding, slow to mature and offers little resistance to leaf rust, which means a producer plants it knowing they are trading volume for quality. Very few are willing to give up the space. What they get in return is a cup with unusual delicacy — a tea-like body, high floral aromatics and a sweetness that reads as tropical rather than caramel. It is a variety that rewards clarity and perfume over sheer intensity, which is exactly why it keeps appearing on competition tables.
In Adrian’s hands, and taken through a natural Fruit Forward Berry Ensemble ferment, that delicacy is pushed toward the fruit end of the spectrum without losing its shape. Expect watermelon and ripe mango up front, a sugarcane-syrup sweetness through the middle, and a berry lift that carries into a clean, dry finish. It is a genuinely rare variety from one of Colombia’s most exacting producers, and we bought a very small amount of it.
El Diviso
El Diviso is a family-run coffee farm located in the highlands of Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, at elevations ranging from 1,750 to over 1,900 metres above sea level. Founded by Jose Uribe Lasso and now led by the next generation, El Diviso has become one of the most influential names in modern Colombian specialty coffee. The farm spans approximately 14 to 16 hectares and is dedicated to producing meticulously crafted microlots that reflect both terroir and process.
Under the leadership of Nestor and Adrian Lasso, El Diviso transitioned from traditional washed coffees into experimental, competition-level production. Today, the farm is known for rare varieties, advanced fermentation techniques, and repeatable processing protocols that have made its coffees favourites among top roasters and baristas worldwide. You can read the full El Diviso story on our blog.

Bruselas, Huila
Bruselas sits in the far south of Huila, just above Pitalito, in what has become the most concentrated pocket of competition-grade coffee in Colombia. The combination of high elevation, volcanic soils and a long, cool ripening season lets cherry hang on the tree well past the point most origins would pick, building the sugar concentration that makes these experimental ferments possible in the first place. It is no accident that so many of the country’s championship lots trace back to a handful of farms within a few kilometres of each other here.
We sourced this competition coffee lot through LOHAS BEANS who work directly with the farmer and air freight the beans as soon as they are ready from processing.
