About This Coffee

This Ombligon lot is produced in Pitalito, Huila, Colombia by the Lasso brothers Nestor and Adrian at Finca El Diviso. The Ombligon variety is believed to be an Ethiopian Heirloom and Pacamara mutation. The coffee undergoes an innovative multi-phase processing protocol: harvested, floated, washed, then given a thermal shock at 50°C followed by a 48-hour oxidation with mosto, a second thermal shock, and sealed anaerobic fermentation with brewer's yeast in a bioreactor. Drying combines mechanical drying, resting stabilization, and slow canopy drying. The result is a dense, fruit-forward cup with layered notes of Guava, Cane Sugar, Cranberry, and Blood Orange.

Clifton Coffee

James Fisher founded Clifton Coffee in Bristol in 2001, initially servicing espresso machines before Ed Buston joined and expanded the business into wholesale. Several of their earliest multi site customers in Bristol remain clients over two decades later. In 2013, Clifton invested in an in house production roastery and a training facility that was among the first of its kind in the UK. By 2022, it had become Bristol's largest roasted coffee wholesaler, supplying around 850 customers including specialty shops, Michelin starred restaurants, and five star hotels across the UK, EU, and Middle East. Ninety percent of the coffee is bought directly from origin through the company's own sourcing relationships. Clifton achieved B Corporation certification in 2023 and holds SCA Premier Campus status.
