Our Apothecary Collection is comprised of four competition level coffees we bought from two young producers that Santiago met while in Colombia in the fall, Nestor Lasso and Jhoan Vergara. We selected these four coffees to compete with this year and have finally decided to release what we have left after competition season! These four coffees are truly exceptional.
Nestor and Jhoan are producers who are chemists in their own right- dedicated to producing delicious, high end coffees with innovative processing methods which enhance the flavour profiles and really showcase the attributes of the region and varietals.
Nestor Lasso is a creative producer who started out working in a bodega hauling bags of coffee to currently being one of the most cutting edge producers in Huila, Colombia.
Ombligon is a new varietal believed to have come from an FNC experimental farm that had been abandoned. It’s only found in Huila, Colombia. The name Ombligon, is Spanish for “belly button” and comes from this variety’s unique shape. Ombligon is very unique as it’s complex but also has definable flavours and characteristics. This coffee is reminiscent of chocolate covered cherries and is like candy in the mouth. It’s super sweet, very delicious and a little bit funky.
Each jar holds 180g beans.
