LOS NOGALES / OSCAR HERNANDEZ
LOS NOGALES FARM
Oscar and his team visited Panama to learn about soil and coffee plant management. Inspired, they implemented new drying techniques with precise temperature and humidity control. They manage three farms: Los Nogales, Finca Nahui, and Finca Neblina, specialising in exotic varieties. Their philosophy focuses on terroir, genetics, and science, classifying coffee into three categories: Grand Reserve (top 15%), Equilibrium (balanced quality), and Alchemy (innovative fermentations). Additionally, they developed their own flavour wheel and a balanced fertilisation strategy using microorganisms and minerals to enhance soil and aromas.
LOS NOGALES FAMILY
Oscar Fernando Hernández grew up in the fields of the Laboyos Valley and, after studying environmental management at SENA, joined the Navy, where he learned to appreciate his roots. After his father's passing, he took over the leadership of Los Nogales farm, transfor- ming it into a coffee innovation center that combines technology and sustainability. His goal is to improve production, create decent jobs, and promote responsible practices, making Los Nogales a benchmark in the industry.
