The Deets
This coffee comes from Los Nogales in Pitalito, Colombia. Oscar, Angie, and Olga Hernández run the family farm. Los Nogales' innovative processing methods yield unique and exciting flavors. They start by hand-picking the ripest cherries. Then, they rinse, sort, and ferment the cherries anaerobically for 120 hours. They stop the fermentation with a process called "thermal shock." They rapidly heat and then cool the cherries to stop all microbial activity. The cherries then dry in the sun to 10-11% moisture. The cup starts with floral and botanical notes complimented by juicy tropical flavors—think hibiscus, eucalyptus, and grilled pineapple.

REST IN PEACE
We recommend resting fresh coffee before drinking it. This allows the volatility of the roast time to subside, and the sweetness and character to shine. For best results, rest washed coffees for 5–10 days, natural coffees for 10–15 days, and experimental processed coffees for 15–30 days.
