Eight years of exploring specialty coffee, seeking out the finest beans, and sharing a passion for a perfect cup – Kofio is celebrating its birthday, and to mark the occasion, we’re bringing you a special edition: HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉. This unique coffee, created in collaboration with Finca El Diviso and Cata Export, is a celebration of everything we love about specialty coffee – rich flavors, innovative processing methods, and honest farm work. In the cup, you’ll be greeted by an explosion of sweet fruity notes – think fruity birthday cake, cherry jam, and a smooth caramel finish. Natural fermentation gives this coffee depth and a velvety body, making every sip a true experience.
This birthday coffee comes from El Diviso farm in Colombia’s Huila region, where brothers Nestor and Adrian Lasso took over the family farm and gave it a new direction. Instead of traditional coffee farming, they chose to experiment with fermentation and new processing techniques, quickly gaining recognition in the coffee world. Together with Johan Vergara, they formed a farming collective focused on outstanding quality and direct connections with roasteries. Thanks to their efforts, El Diviso’s coffee has made appearances in prestigious competitions such as the Brewers Cup in Ireland and Austria – and now it's part of Kofio’s birthday edition.
The processing of this limited edition follows a precise method that ensures a full-bodied flavor and pronounced sweetness. After being hand-picked, the cherries undergo 24 hours of oxidation, then are depulped and go through another 20-hour oxidation process to enhance their fruity notes. The coffee is then dried for 15 days in parabolic solar dryers, helping it retain its rich taste and delicate acidity. The result is a harmonious, sweet, and well-balanced cup – the perfect way to celebrate eight years of amazing coffee. Join the celebration and enjoy Kofio’s birthday edition! 🎉
