From TANAT

SCORE 87

This low-caffeine coffee comes from a rigorous selection of ripe cherries, sorted by density after disinfection.

Decaffeination begins by immersing the Whole Beans in hot water (80°C) to open the pores, followed by three baths with a natural solvent extracted from the coffee pulp, removing around 95% of the caffeine while preserving the aromas.

A controlled 96-hour fermentation is then carried out with sourdough from previous batches, at 18°C, to enrich the aromatic profile.

The result is a surprisingly expressive coffee, with good acidity and fruity notes.

About Los Nogales:

Around 80 years ago, Ricardo Hernández and Concepción Castillo founded the Los Nogales farm in Pitalito, Huila, with the ambition of making coffee history.

Their youngest son, Ricaurte Hernández, born in 1952, stands out for his dedication to the land, his generosity and his entrepreneurial spirit. Alongside his partner Suldery Arango, he built a veritable coffee empire, crowned in 2005 by victory in Colombia's "Cup of Excellence" competition.

A visionary and innovator, Ricaurte leaves a strong legacy after his tragic death in 2013, a victim of rural violence. His youngest son, Oscar Fernando, is taking over the farm to perpetuate this vision.

Thanks to his expertise in environmental management, he is transforming Los Nogales into a modern coffee production center, combining quality, sustainability and innovation.
