Producer with the heritage of excellence
Today, that legacy lives on through Oscar Hernández, Ricaurte’s youngest son. A former naval officer and environmental technologist, Oscar returned to the farm after his father’s tragic passing with a clear purpose: to honour the past while redefining the future. Under his leadership, Los Nogales has become a research and innovation-driven farm, blending tradition with microbiology, precision fermentation, and environmental responsibility.
Origin & Variety
This lot features Wush Wush, a rare and exotic Arabica variety originally from Ethiopia. While often compared to Geisha, Wush Wush is even more aromatic and expressive—intensely floral, deeply sweet, and wildly complex. Grown in the highlands of Huila, it’s a beautiful example of how variety and place can collide to create something unforgettable.
Farming with Intention
At Los Nogales, coffee plants are treated like family. From seed selection to nutrition, everything is done with care and science. Organic matter is transformed on-farm into natural fertilisers, feeding both the soil and the plant’s microbiology. More than 30 trained pickers carefully harvest only ripe cherries, ensuring quality begins long before processing.
Processing — Where Science Meets Craft
This coffee undergoes an incredibly deliberate process:
- Hand-picked ripe cherries
- Density sorting by flotation
- Ozone-assisted cleaning
-
Thermal shock: 80 °C wash followed by rapid cold cooling
- Pulping and anaerobic fermentation with mosto, yeast, and preferment for 120 hours
- Rinsed and sun-dried for ~15 days
The result is clarity, sweetness, and an aromatic lift that’s unmistakably Los Nogales.
Why We Love It
At Society Coffee Roasters, we’re drawn to coffees with soul—and this one carries generations of it. Los Nogales represents what’s possible when legacy, innovation, and care align. This Wush Wush is rare, expressive, and unapologetically special.
Brew it slow. Let it cool. And let it tell its story.
