Nestor Lasso [Ombligon]
Tasting Notes
Description
The return of Nestor Lasso's Ombligon! Cultivated at over 1,750m altitude in Pitalito (Huila), this microlot of the rare Ombligon variety, produced by the talented Nestor Lasso, offers a funky, complex cup overflowing with fruits. The cherries, harvested at full ripeness, undergo a long oxidation phase: 48 hours in open air, 12 hours rest, then an additional 60 hours with temperature control (30–40 °C). They are then placed in closed tanks for a 24-hour anaerobic fermentation with recirculation of the must (the sweet juice from the coffee cherries). The process is stopped by a thermal shock at 60 °C which fixes the aromas, before drying combining solar exposure and dehumidifier (60–70 hours at ~35 °C) until reaching 10.5–11.5 % humidity. In the cup, it is an ultra-fruity coffee, with a sparkling acidity and a gourmet sweetness of strawberry jam and raspberry, balanced by the delicate sweetness of peach.
