About This Coffee

Finca Las Flores sits in the hills of Huila, Colombia, where the Vergara brothers have built a reputation for serious fermentation expertise. Their careful, profile-driven approach to processing coaxes layered fruit nuances out of each lot — and it is exactly that work that gives this Ombligon its expressive raspberry character and creamy texture.

Ombligon is a rare, sought-after Colombian variety prized for its cup quality. After the success of Finca Las Flores, the Vergara brothers extended their know-how to neighbouring growers through a community project called Peñas Blancas, lifting quality across the wider area. We roast this coffee to a medium level in Kuala Lumpur to keep its fruit clarity intact while building enough body for espresso.

If the shot pulls too fast or tastes sharp, grind a little finer; if it chokes or turns bitter, grind coarser. Small adjustments make a big difference with a fruit-forward coffee like this.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

At around 18g per double shot, a 250g bag pulls roughly 13 to 14 espressos, while the 1kg bag makes about 55. That is a generous run of a genuinely rare Colombian variety — plenty of room to dial in your shots and still enjoy the fruit day after day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better as espresso or filter?
It is built for espresso. The medium roast and profile-fermented fruit shine through a 1:2 shot, giving raspberry sweetness with a creamy body. You can brew it as filter too, but the recipe here is dialled for espresso.

What does it taste like?
Expressive and fruity — fresh raspberry leads, backed by dried apple and a creamy, rounded mouthfeel. The finish is clean and gently sweet rather than heavy or roasty.

How fresh will my coffee be?
We roast to order and ship within one week of your roast date. This coffee is at its best two to three weeks after roasting, so it will be hitting its peak right around when it reaches you.

What is Ombligon?
Ombligon is a rare Colombian coffee variety known for its distinctive cup and pronounced fruit character. Profile fermentation at Finca Las Flores draws out its expressive raspberry notes and creamy texture.

Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. We offer free shipping within Malaysia on orders over RM80, roasted fresh in Kuala Lumpur and sent straight to your door.
