Boris Herrera produces experimental, competition-focused lots in Santuario, Risaralda, using controlled fermentation and drying tailored to distinctive varieties.
Klatch Coffee highlights this release as an opportunity to explore the rising Ombligon varietal through a specialized processing technique.
Klatch’s first Ombligon release and a 2026 Kenneth Davids Cup U.S. Experimental finalist. Coffee Review scored the exact release 96/100; that independent score remains separate from the site’s blank original-tasting score.
