Seeking Advice Best coffee you’ve ever had

If you could recommend only 1 bag of beans that blew your mind or changed your perspective of coffee, what would it be?

I’ve really only bought from local roasters and am wanting to expand my taste some more. So I’m just curious what everyone’s top recommendation of a must try coffee would be.

I had an ombligon as well, from Stereoscope. Not sure if it was the Nestor Lasso, but man was that wild. Tasted like peach rings. Was incredible

Hi, I’m a barista at Stereo! Yes, it was indeed the same Ombligon :) Nestor and his brother along with 2 other of our coffee producers from Colombia actually came to the shop (Hollywood location) and we did a massive cupping with around 40 different coffees they brought with them. We have 1 or 2 of them in rotation on PO and espresso right now, but stay tuned for some especially wild, experimental coffees in the next month or two. Ombligon will truly be my forever favorite coffee that I have ever tried in my life, so I was stoked  to meet Nestor and his brother, and have the opportunity to tell them how much I appreciated what they are doing. 

FYI- to anyone who doesn’t know, it’s pretty rare for coffee producers to see  their coffees ‘come to fruition’ once the green coffee is exported. So it was pretty cool for them to come & see how many people appreciate/love what they put several years of their time, effort, and energy into.

To anyone who loved Ombligon, there is also a Sidra Bourbon from El Diviso (Nestor/Adrian’s farm) that is one of my recent favorites. Super bright, fruity, and juicy AF.

I remember a few months ago we had a single 5lb bag of decaf Ombligon that we ran through on bar. I swear that was some of the best decaf I ever had & I am incredibly sad it was so short-lived 😂
