Among the crops on the Los Nogales farm, a wide variety of coffee plantations stand out, among them: Geisha, Caturra, Colombia, Cenicafe, Yellow and Pink Bourbon, Tabi, Hava, Bourbon and Typica.

Led by Oscar Fernando Hernández, an industrial engineer and former naval non-commissioned officer, the focus is always on quality by providing the kind of attention care and love to the plants that are typically reserved for family members. 

The family laboratory is led by Angie Hernández an industrial engineer, responsible for improving fermentation techniques.

This caturra lot has been hand picked at optimal ripeness and then subjected to deep cleaning with treated water. They then undergo thermal shock and then pulped.  A fermentation process lasting 120 hours follows before the beans are sun dried for 15 days.
