Los Nogales
Angie Hernandez
Small-scale producer
Los Nogales, located in El Diamante, Brussels, Colombia, embodies five generations of Hernández family dedication to coffee. Founded by Ricardo Hernández and Concepción Castillo 80 years ago, the farm gained prominence in 2005 when Ricaurte Hernández won Colombia's first Cup of Excellence. Tragically, Ricaurte was killed in 2013, his death being a result of the violence that has long plagued rural Colombia, but his legacy endures through his children. His son Oscar revived the farm, while daughters Angie and Olga have revolutionized coffee science and women’s roles in the industry. Their commitment to sustainable farming and quality continues to inspire.

STEP 1. good harvesting of ripe fruits: in this step, only the coffee fruits that have reached the appropriate maturity are collected, which guarantees the quality of the beans.STEP 2. cleaning and disinfection with treated water: the collected grains undergo a cleaning and disinfection process using treated water, ensuring the elimination of impurities and unwanted microorganisms.STEP 3. selection by density with water: the grains are separated according to their density through a flotation process in water. this helps remove defective or immature beans that will float to the surface.STEP 4. thermal shock: the grains are subjected to thermal shock by being immersed alternately in hot and cold water. (80 degrees 20 seconds and 15 degrees 3 minutes) this has two purposes: to release glucose from the grains and topasteurize them to eliminate unwanted microorganisms.STEP 5. pulping and adding sugars: the pulp is removed from the beans and sugars obtained from pressing the coffee husks are added. this adds sweetness and complexity to the flavor.STEP 6. addition of pre-ferments and fermentation: pre-ferments, similar to sourdough in bakery, are added to start fermentation. the beans ferment for 90 hours, which contributes to the formation of distinctive flavors.STEP 7. sun dried for 15 days: the fermented beans are dried in the sun for a period of 15 days. this process ensures that the beans reach the optimal moisture for storage.STEP 8. add to barrels previously used for beer: finally, the parchment-dried coffee beans are placed in barrels previously used for beer. this adds additional flavor nuances, creating a coffee with extraordinary and complex flavors.
