What to Expect
This is Colombian coffee that tastes nothing like Colombian coffee. Los Nogales' 120-hour anaerobic fermentation process pushes lychee, rose, and Turkish delight to the front of the cup, with a candy-sweet intensity that divides rooms.
The Cup
The body is medium and silky, with a perfumed, almost syrupy mouthfeel that coats your palate. Acidity is moderate but bright, leaning citric with lime and tangerine sharpness that cuts through the sweetness. This is ferment-forward coffee: the anaerobic natural process and pre-fermented dough treatment create a wine-like, floral character that some will find intoxicating and others will find too unusual. If you've never tried experimental processing, this is a deep dive.
Who This Is For
If you chase unusual flavour and enjoy coffees that taste more like fruit tea than traditional coffee, this will thrill you. It's for drinkers who want to explore what fermentation can do when pushed to its limits.
If you prefer a clean, balanced cup without funk or floral intensity, this one will challenge you.
Best for: Adventurous filter drinkers who love experimental processing and aren't afraid of polarising flavour.
How to Brew This Coffee
A V60 will give you the clarity to appreciate the rose and lychee notes without muddying the unusual fermentation character. Filter methods like Kalita Wave or Chemex work well for preserving the delicate floral qualities while softening the intensity slightly. An Aeropress offers versatility: brew it short and concentrated to amplify the candy sweetness, or dilute it for a lighter, more approachable cup.
