Nogales

Lot data: Caturra • 1,870–2,000 m.a.s.l. • 24h cherry fermentation • Sun-dried on raised beds • Excelso selection • Mucilage EA decaffeination • Final drying ~5 days This Caturra decaf from Los Nogales is a rare mucilage EA lot, processed with a natural solvent derived from fermented coffee mucilage rather than standard sugarcane ethyl acetate. We chose it because it keeps the clarity, sweetness, and structure of a high-end washed Colombian, while drinking far beyond what most decaf allows. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} Fully ripe cherries are fermented for 24 hours, washed, sun-dried, hulled, then decaffeinated through repeated warm-water immersion and a 24-hour contact with the coffee-derived must. The result is a cup that stays bright and articulate rather than flattened by the process. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} Expect agave sweetness, panela, and lemonade-like acidity, with a clear herbal lift running through the cup. A soft biscuit-like finish and a light strawberry note give it extra charm, whether brewed as filter or a modern espresso.
