Strawberry Candy & Watermelon Infusion
Nestor Lasso | Colombia
Experience the extraordinary Nestor Lasso's Ombligon Natural, an exceptional coffee from Colombia's Pitalito, Huila region that captivates with its tropical aromas and remarkable complexity. Grown at an altitude of 1,750 meters, this coffee showcases the pinnacle of innovation and excellence in coffee processing.
The meticulous natural processing begins with cherries picked at optimal ripeness, boasting Brix degrees between 21-24. The cherries undergo a 48-hour open-air oxidation, during which the coffee must is constantly recirculated and monitored to maintain specific Brix and pH levels. A selective washing and thermal shock rinse at 50°C initiate fermentation, after which the cherries are transferred to airtight tanks with introduced brewer's yeast. A controlled 38-hour anaerobic fermentation ensues, enhancing the coffee's complexity and depth. The beans are then mechanically dried, stabilised, and finally sun-dried in marquesinas for approximately 15 days to achieve the ideal moisture content.
The result is a truly complex and unique coffee, bursting with vibrant depth and sweetness. Expect pronounced notes of cherry and watermelon, all wrapped in the delightful sweetness of strawberry candy. This coffee offers a very sweet profile with layers of flavour that captivate the palate. Its remarkable depth shines whether you enjoy it as an espresso or a filter brew, making each sip a satisfying and unforgettable experience.
Nestor's natural Ombligon has earned recognition in esteemed barista competitions, playing a key role in Dominka’s victory at the Polish Barista Championship in February 2024. It also contributed to Jack Simpson’s third-place finish at the World Barista Championship 2023. These accolades are a testament to the coffee’s outstanding quality and distinctive character.
Don't miss the opportunity to savour this extraordinary coffee. Indulge in a complex sweetness and unforgettable taste experience, distinguished by rich red fruit notes and remarkable depth—a true testament to the art and innovation of specialty coffee.
