This coffee comes to us from the fantastic folks at Los Nogales. We've sourced several coffees from Los Nogales now, and every one of them has been outstanding. The farm is nestled high in the lush mountains of Bruselas, where the team produces some of the best coffees we’ve tasted. The ripest cherries are hand-picked and floated to sort for quality and density. The cherries and then washed and disinfected with ozone. The cherries undergo a thermal shock to start the fermentation, then they’re depulped, and placed in barrels to ferment with Ethyl Acetate and mosto while in mucilage. The seeds are then rinsed and dried to 10.5% moisture content. The result is a super dynamic coffee that blows your idea of how good a decaf can be out of the water. We get notes that remind us of blackberry, orange zest, hibiscus, and wild honey.
We recommend resting freshly roasted coffee to allow the beans to stabilize and fully open. This results in a sweeter, more expressive cup. We rest washed coffees 5–10 days, naturals 10–15 days, and experimental lots 15–30 days.
