Farm info

For us at Mistral, coffees like this represent everything exciting about modern specialty coffee. They show how much influence a producer can have over the final cup, not just through the variety and growing conditions, but through a deeper understanding of fermentation, temperature and processing.

Ombligon coffee variety is the localized term used for this Ethiopian Landrace variety, cultivated in Huila, Colombia. It has great potential due to its Ethiopian genetics, which truly show in the cup. The cherry is elongated and has a belly button shape on the base. Which is why it called by locals Ombligon (belly button in Spanish!). It is rare to find and there is talk that the variety arrived to Colombia from Central America, but there is no record of the precise provenance nor date.

Néstor Lasso's Ombligón is a celebration of that creativity, combining scientific precision with the craft of coffee production.

An exceptional coffee, and one we're incredibly excited to share!
