The most common answer is that Deiro is simply a big fan of Harry Potter! Deiro, a former microbiologist, is also regarded as one of the most forward-thinking coffee producers in Colombia. His technique involves creating his own unique fermentation cultures using various yeasts and fruits. Processing of the ombligon coffee begins with sorting and selection of ripened cherries. The overripe cherries are then floated out using water beds. After being sorted, the cherries undergo a 36-hour oxidation. They are then depulped and placed inside sealed containers along with a watermelon substrate (made of 3 day fermented watermelon pulp with yeast) and Saccharaomyces Cerevisiae yeast. This yeast is popular in various industries such as winemaking and baking. The cherries are fermented in this solution for 48 hours or until they reach an average pH of 3.5. After fermentation, the cherries are washed and dried for twelve days. The ombligon varietal is a new varietal for us — this rare varietal gets its name from the unique shape of its coffee cherry. The word “ombligo” translates to belly button! Source: Direct from Mr. Garcia WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE There has been a recent hype for melon-noted coffees, so we’ve been in search of one for a while. Although the unique branding of Finca Lord Voldemort was the first thing to catch us by surprise, the cup qualities of Deiro Garcia’s yeast-inoculated, watermelon fermented ombligon were just as exciting. Unlike our two previous exploratory offerings, this ombligon is a very traditional cofermented coffee and we have roasted it to accentuate its unique flavor profile. This coffee exhibits in-your-face melon flavors that remind us of melona bars and Japanese crown melon, while being balanced out by subtle notes of cucumber and mint. In smaller milk drinks, the flavor and body is reminiscent of melted melon ice cream. We hope you enjoy this unique offering as much as we do!
