Origin – Finca Las Flores, Huila, Colombia

Finca Las Flores, located in Acevedo, Huila, is one of Colombia’s most exciting specialty coffee farms, led by brothers Jhoan and Diego Vergara. Originally established by their parents in the early 1990s, the farm has evolved into a benchmark for innovation, quality, and experimental processing in specialty coffee.

In recent years, the Vergara family has shifted their focus from traditional production to creating high-end micro-lots, working with rare varietals and advanced fermentation techniques. Their work places them at the forefront of a new generation of Colombian producers pushing the boundaries of flavour and processing.

This lot features Ombligón, a rare Arabica varietal believed to have Ethiopian lineage and known for its unique cherry shape and intensely expressive cup profile. Often considered a “next-generation” varietal, Ombligón is gaining recognition for its ability to produce vibrant, fruit-driven coffees with exceptional sweetness and complexity.

The processing of this coffee is equally important to its character. Using anaerobic fermentation, the cherries are sealed in oxygen-free environments, allowing specific microorganisms to develop and amplify flavour compounds. This controlled process enhances fruit intensity, sweetness, and body, resulting in a coffee that is both bold and refined.

The result is a cup that is layered, juicy, and full of life, showcasing the innovation and craftsmanship that define Finca Las Flores — and its close collaboration with neighbouring farms like El Diviso.
