Strawberry Laces

March brings us a coffee that is playful, vibrant and packed with personality. A perfect fit for this month’s Coffee of the Month.

Perky's Coffee of the Month series gives them the opportunity to explore wonderfully diverse coffees from around the world while shining a light on the growers and communities behind each cup.

For March’s edition, Perky have chosen a familiar and much-loved lot from Colombia called El Diviso, produced by Nestor Lasso and his brother Adrian.

These third-generation coffee farmers have always prioritised quality over quantity, helping to ensure coffee farming remains a viable and respected livelihood for generations to come.

Motivated by his passion for coffee and the desire to build a brighter future, Nestor took over the family farm with his brother at just 25 years old, shifting the focus toward producing exceptional micro-lots and refining their post-harvest methods with real care and precision.

COLOMBIA - FINCA EL DIVISO, PITALITO

Finca El Diviso is a collaborative project initiated by neighbouring coffee producers striving to cultivate and process exceptional, high-scoring coffee. The farm is owned by Nestor Lasso and Jhoan Vergara of Las Flores Farm, and is located in Pitalito at around 1,800 metres above sea level, ideal conditions for producing specialty coffee with clarity, sweetness and complexity.

This particular lot is a Caturra varietal and underwent a double anaerobic fermentation. After harvest, the cherries were first fermented anaerobically for 20 hours, followed by another 16 hours in smaller batches. After depulping and washing, the coffee was submerged in water and leachate from previous harvests for 18 hours before being mechanically dried.

The result is a beautifully expressive cup with bright tropical sweetness, floral character and loads of juicy personality.

Ingredients & Allergens

Ingredients: Coffee beans

For allergens see ingredients in bold.

Due to the way our food is stored and packaged, this product may contain traces of other allergens due to cross-contamination.

Storage

Your beans’ greatest enemies are air, moisture, heat, and light.

Store in an air tight container in a dark, cool, dry place. A cabinet near the oven is often too warm, and so is a spot on the kitchen counter that gets strong afternoon sun.

To keep the great flavour, use within 1 month. The coffee will keep for up to 6 months but the flavour won't be as good. See best before date.
