This coffee’s roasted in our filter style — meaning it’s designed to shine as black coffee rather than with milk. That doesn’t mean you have to brew it as a pour-over though. You can make it however you like — espresso, moka pot, AeroPress or anything in between. We simply roast it a little lighter to highlight the bean’s origin flavours giving you a cup that’s clean, vibrant and full of clarity.
Lighter roasting keeps more of the natural acidity and sweetness intact which makes for a beautifully expressive black coffee. This coffee is best enjoyed without milk as it’s too acidic and the flavours don’t pair well once milk is added.
If you prefer your milk coffee with richer caramel, toffee or nutty flavours you might enjoy our espresso range more. Those roasts are taken a little darker to bring out deeper sweetness and balance beautifully with milk.

About Ombligon
Ombligon is the localized term used for this Ethiopian Landrace Variety. Ombligo is belly button in Spanish, and is the reason why locals refer to this variety as the cherry has a belly. It is rare to find and there is talk that the variety arrived to Colombia from Central America, but there is no record of the precise provenance nor date.
El Diviso
El Diviso is a family-run coffee farm located in the highlands of Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, at elevations ranging from 1,750 to over 1,900 metres above sea level. Founded by Jose Uribe Lasso and now led by the next generation, El Diviso has become one of the most influential names in modern Colombian specialty coffee. The farm spans approximately 14 to 16 hectares and is dedicated to producing meticulously crafted microlots that reflect both terroir and process.
Under the leadership of Nestor and Adrian Lasso, El Diviso transitioned from traditional washed coffees into experimental, competition-level production. Today, the farm is known for rare varieties, advanced fermentation techniques, and repeatable processing protocols that have made its coffees favourites among top roasters and baristas worldwide.
