Sugar Rush is part of our Extra range — a permanent line of bold, high-intensity coffees designed for those who want more: more sweetness, more fruit, more character. These are not subtle coffees. They are unapologetically expressive, built around a single idea — the pure, almost candy-like pleasure of a cup that stops you mid-sip.
Sugar Rush is our staple Extra coffee. It will always be here, evolving with the seasons but anchored to the same idea: a coffee so sweet and vibrant it tastes like the best kind of indulgence. For this first edition, we knew exactly where to turn.
Néstor Lasso is one of the producers we've known and trusted since early on. Together with his brother Adrián and their partner Jhoan Vergara, he runs El Diviso, a farm near Pitalito, Huila, that has become one of the most talked-about names in Colombian specialty coffee. Built in partnership with Cata Export — the same team behind Cherry Fizz — El Diviso is a place where tradition and precision fermentation meet. Their work earned them 1st place at the Brewers Cup in Ireland and recognition across Europe. It's the kind of result that doesn't happen by accident.
Raised in Normandía, Huila, Néstor represents a new generation of Colombian growers: people who understand their land deeply, invest in their craft obsessively, and approach quality with the same rigor you'd find in any world-class kitchen or cellar. For Sugar Rush's first edition, his Yellow Papayo — a rare and expressive variety — felt like the only choice.
