Tasting notes: Strawberry, Peach, Raspberry, cotton candy, hubba bubba, dark chocolate. Meduim weight with a juicy and silky mouthfeel.

Angie is coming from a rich heritage of coffee farmers, where the farm has been in the family for 3 generations. Finca Los Nogales, a farm surrounded by mountains embraced by thick clouds, won the first cup of excellence in Colombia and has continued to push for excellence ever since. 

Angie processed this Yellow bourbon through several stages:

- Picking and selection by hand
- Floating to remove impurities

- Oxidation in cherry for 45 hours in steel barrels

- Depulping 

- Anaerobic fermentation submerged in juice from the cherries with lactobacillus RN21 (derived form the cherries) for 120 hours

- Washing with little water

- Mechanical drying

This process brough the fresh red berry notes fourth and gave a nice almost candy like sweetness. 

please note that this coffee is sold in 100g and 200g bags.
