Story

Triangle Accent

Another first for JBC: our debut Ombligon lot from producer Yulieth Mora in Huila, Colombia.

This rare variety is intensely tropical and floral, bursting with notes of piña colada, dried strawberry, lemongrass, and watermelon candy. If you’re chasing exotic flavor without the extreme price tag, this microlot delivers.

Ombligo, Spanish for “belly button,” named for the dimple at the base of its cherry—is believed to be a natural mutation of Ethiopian lineage. It gained global attention in 2023 and has since been praised for its layered sweetness, red fruit intensity, and creamy texture. This lot showcases all of it.

Grown by third-generation farmer Yulieth Mora at Villa Pastora in Palestina, Huila, the farm was founded by her grandmother in the 1980s. Today it stands as both a quality-focused microlot producer and a resource for neighboring growers.

Ripe cherries were carefully selected, floated, depulped, and fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast before 15 days of patio drying resulting in a vibrant, expressive cup with serious character.

Limited release.

Story:

Unparalleled quality, a human story, and sustainability – that’s our coffee philosophy.

Unparalleled quality. We won’t buy a coffee unless we know that it will inspire you.

A human story. Often times a producer’s story gets lost in the coffee supply chain. It’s our focus to provide a seed-to-cup experience, honoring everyone involved

Sustainability. We purchase coffees directly from producers and through brokers who share our goal of making coffee a sustainable commodity. Financially and environmentally, the coffees we purchase seek balance. Premiums paid for quality far exceed fair trade premiums and afford a more sustainable, honest model.

Combine our coffee philosophy and passion for exceptional coffees with our down-home Midwest hospitality and that, in a nutshell, is JBC Coffee Roasters. We can’t wait to share our coffee passion with you.
