Black & White Coffee Roasters

Los Nogales - Typica Virtuoso

Los Nogales, a third-generation family farm in Pitalito, Huila, produces this Typica and Castillo blend at 1,870–2,000 meters elevation. Oscar Hernández employs a signature fermentation process using a specific yeast strain combined with thermal shock and oxidation, creating a distinctive fermentation profile that defies expectation: the coffee opens with big, round red fruit and cherry notes that evolve into tropical flavors (mango, peach, white grape), then settle into a dark chocolate ganache finish. The vibrant acidity cuts through what initially appears as a heavy, deep aroma, making for a coffee that rewards both your first sniff and your first sip. This is innovation rooted in family tradition and environmental stewardship.
