The Coffee

Jhon Esmith Orando is one of this years exceptional lots, selected from Raw Materials CIC, who operate with a high focus on margins for coffee farmers where it matters most.

It was purchased in a small volume of Vac Pacs to preserve its unique and very intense characteristics that make it a very special coffee.

The process is natural, but it's not overly fermented. It's got amazing clarity in the cup, with a strong taste of fresh green apples, supported by a layer elderflower sweetness and crisp, malic acidity, all held together by a dry Riesling body.

Overall this coffee is very refreshing and almost effervescent to drink, with great balance and clarity that it very unique. It shines as a pour over.

The variety is 'Ombligon', which translates from Spanish to English as “belly button” due to its unique shape. Ombligon has similar characteristics to Caturra, such as wide leaves, cherries which grow close together, branches which grow vertically, and high yields.

It's is through that Ombligon could be a natural mutation of other varieties like Pacamara, Bourbon, or even Castillo. Producers in Huila, Colombia grow Ombligon at different altitudes, but between 1,600 and 1,800 m.a.s.l. tends to work best.
