Extremely fruity with a big jammy hit, this coffee offers a complex syrupy cup profile that is vibrant, clean and exceptionally sweet.
Full of tropical acidity with a long white chocolate finish that lingers on the palate. This rare and exotic variety needs to be tasted to be appreciated. Given the Name Ombligon which translates as Belly Button in Spanish because of its unique shape these dense seeds definately benefit from a more developed profile in the roaster.
