Los Nogales
Oscar 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.
