Taste Notes - Peach, Fruit Punch, Strawberry 

 This coffee is a very unique variety , wild and fun and will not last long.  We were extremely lucky to have the opportunity to buy this.  

Nestor and Adrian are two young people who represent the new generation of coffee producers in Colombia. They are risky, innovative, and they are in an endless pursuit to develop thought provoking flavor profiles that are truly one of a kind.

Today, at 26 and 27, the two brothers have teamed up to run the family farm Finca El Diviso.

Nestor's coffees as of recent have developed a cult following among the hardest of hardcore connoisseurs and competitors in the industry. Nestor's coffees have gained global acclaim by leaving their mark on the world stage which began in 2022 when his anaerobic natural Sidra was used to win the World Barista Championship. Each year forward.

Nestors coffees have been a regular fixture in the completion circuit as a consistent championship finalist.

Néstor at the ripe age of 27 years old, is in charge of Finca El Diviso. Once finishing high school he decided to start working directly alongside his father on the farm. He had two uncompromising rules if permanently pursuing a life in coffee: 1. he would not be willing to compromise on quality  and 2. to do things in a radically different way than what was traditionally accepted in Colombia. He realized that in order to create better opportunities in coffee, he could not continue down the same old path of coffee farming and continue doing the things the old way. He had to pave a new path, so he convinced his father to plant other varieties and to start producing high-quality coffees since he saw the great potential in the specialty market.

Ombligon is a relatively new varietal that was discovered in the past few years in Huila, Colombia. To be more precise Ombligon is a natural mutation of an Ethiopian Landrace. Ombligo is belly button in Spanish and is the reason why locals refer to this variety as the cherry with a belly button. Ombligon has similar characteristics to Caturra, such as wide leaves, cherries which grow close together, branches which grow vertically, and high yields.

Ombligon is also denser than other varieties, with less floaters' or non-developed beans. 

it’s very unique and even before roasted smells so amazing .
