Peñas Blancas

Peñas Blancas is a washed, profile-fermented Ombligon from Jhoan Vergara at Las Flores in Huila, Colombia. The cup is fruit-driven and expressive, led by raspberry and tropical notes with a candy-like sweetness that gives it immediate clarity. Acidity is bright but controlled, supported by a dense, textured body that keeps the profile grounded.

That intensity of Peñas Blancas points to its process as well as its origin point. Ombligon is known for producing highly aromatic, fruit-forward coffees, and here it’s paired with a controlled fermentation approach that builds sweetness and structure without tipping into excess. The result is a lactic quality that softens the acidity and adds weight to the cup, giving the fruit a more rounded, integrated feel.

The washed process maintains definition while allowing those fermentation-driven characteristics to come through cleanly. Sweetness carries from start to finish, with a bright, structured profile that remains composed despite its intensity. It’s a coffee that leans expressive and sure to make a full impression.
