NOGALES - Low Caf - Colombia Filter Coffee

We are very pleased to present to you an exceptional filter coffee with the Los Nogales Low Caffeine Typica. This special lotwas produced by Angie and Oscar Hernandezat the renowned Finca Los Nogalesin Huila, Colombia. The coffee plants grow there at approximately 1,750 meters above sea level.

This coffee is a naturally decaffeinated Typica. After selective harvesting, the cherries are first fermented and then washed. The decaffeination process is carried out particularly gently using a natural extract from coffee cherries, which best preserves the original flavor profile. Please note: This coffee contains more caffeine than a standard decaf, hence the designation Low Caffeine.

The result is an incredibly clear, elegant, and fruity filter coffee with wonderful floral aromatics and very juicy acidity.

We taste cherry, blueberry, hibiscus, mandarin, cocoa, black tea, and floral notes.

The coffee impresses with a silky mouthfeel, light body, and very clear, vibrant acidity. We find the combination of floral notes, citrus freshness, and the transparency and complexity that is extraordinary for a low-caffeine coffee to be particularly exciting.

A special filter coffee for all those who love fruity, floral, and elegant coffees.

Only while stocks last!
