  • Description:

    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.

      Variety: Ombligon

    Ombligon is a rare Coffea arabica cultivar primarily found in Huila, Colombia. It is not formally registered and is widely believed to be a natural mutation or locally selected landrace, likely influenced by Ethiopian heirloom genetics introduced to Colombia during early Arabica dissemination. Botanically, the plant shows upright growth, broad leaves, and good yield potential. Its most distinguishing feature is the elongated cherry with a pronounced basal dimple, which gives rise to its name—ombligo, Spanish for “belly button.” While its exact genetic lineage remains unresolved, Ombligon reflects the ongoing diversification of Arabica as it adapts outside its Ethiopian center of origin.

      Process: Yeast Incoulated, Washed

    Processing begins with careful harvesting and cherry flotation, the coffee is depulped. It’s then placed in barrels for alcoholic fermentation. A strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast is added to ensure a longer mucilage fermentation. The process is carried out submerged in water. Once done, the fermentation is dried on patios for 15 days.

      Elevation: 1680M

    Elevation plays a crucial role in determining the quality and flavor profile of coffee beans. Generally, higher elevations are associated with better quality coffee. As coffee plants grow at higher altitudes, they face cooler temperatures, reduced oxygen levels, and increased exposure to sunlight. These conditions cause the coffee cherries to mature more slowly, allowing them to develop more complex flavors and a higher concentration of sugars.

    A coffee profile, also known as a flavor profile or tasting notes, refers to the unique combination of flavors, aromas, and characteristics present in a particular coffee bean or blend. It encompasses a range of sensory attributes such as acidity, body, sweetness, bitterness, aroma, and aftertaste. Coffee profiles can vary widely depending on factors like the bean's origin, variety, processing method, roast level, and brewing technique.

  • Villa Pastora farm, located in the municipality of Palestina, Huila, was acquired in the 1980s
    by Mrs. Pastora Anacona, Yulieth and Gerson’s paternal grandmother. She initiated the
    coffee tradition on the farm by plantingthe first coffee trees. Since then, this passion for
    coffee has been passed down through the Mora Ortega family, now in its third generation
    of coffee growers.
    The farm, named after its founder, represents the hard work and dedication of the family,
    who have focused on producing differentiated, high-quality coffees. Álvaro Mora, Yulieth’s
    father, has been a central figure in maintaining and expanding this legacy. The farm serves
    as a tribute to Álvaro’s mother, who first planted the seeds that would grow into a thriving
    coffee business. Run as a family effort, Villa Pastora employs sustainable methods and
    prioritizes product quality. Álvaro seeks recognition from consumers for the care and
    passion invested in each cup of coffee. He believes in the importance of quality.
    Lot Info
    Villa Pastora is not only a place of production but also a hub of community support. The
    farm employs about eight people from the area and offers fermentation advice, as well
    as drying services for other coffee growers who lack proper infrastructure. Álvaro has
    formed partnerships, such as his participation in the Delagua project, to expand the farm’s
    reach and impact. These collaborations help in sharing
