Los Nogales, a farm with a rich history, is where Ricardo Hernández and Concepción Castillo began building their coffee vision 80 years ago. Their son, Ricaurte Hernández, led the family business with dedication and passion, leaving an indelible mark on the history of Colombian coffee. In 2005, after years of hard work and innovation, Los Nogales won first place in Colombia's historic Cup of Excellence competition. After Ricaurte's tragic death in 2013, his son Oscar Fernando Hernández decided to take over the reins and continue the family tradition. Thanks to his professional training in environmental management and his ongoing commitment to sustainable and innovative practices, Oscar has taken the farm to a new level, combining tradition with modern technology.
This coffee is processed using the semi-washed method according to a precisely developed protocol that combines traditional practices with a modern emphasis on quality and sustainability. Hand-picked fully ripe cherries first undergo 72-84 hours of oxidation in open tanks, followed by careful pulping and36 hours of anaerobic fermentation in plastic tanks. Subsequent gentle washing removes part of the skin and prepares the beans for 15-20 days of sun drying, during which they are turned regularly three times a day to ensure an even result. This process emphasizes the philosophy of CATA and the Los Nogales farm, based on clean agriculture, precise fermentation, and the use of organic fertilizers, which is reflected not only in the exceptional quality of the cup but also in its environmental friendliness.
