Colombia – Villa Pastora, Ombligon

This Ombligon from Villa Pastora in Huila, Colombia delivers a vibrant and expressive cup shaped by generations of care from the Mora Ortega family.
Grown by Yulieth Mora, this rare Colombian variety is named for its distinctive round, belly-like cherry shape, with ombligón translating to “belly button” in Spanish.
After harvest, the coffee undergoes an alcoholic fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (a brewer’s yeast), extending mucilage fermentation and resulting in incredible sweetness, texture, and aromatic complexity. In the cup, ripe apricot, pineapple, passion flower, and vanilla cream come together beautifully, evoking the nostalgic sweetness of an orange creamsicle.
