HISTORY: 
The Nogales Group is a project with family roots that celebrates the sense of community with everyone who chooses to become a part of this project. Offering authentic experiences, they treat their people and the planet with care & empathy while they build and redefine what it means to be coffee producers. With a rich history as a traditional coffee farm, notably winning CoE in 2005, we have continued to innovate and question the future image of a coffee farm.

Now 20 years later they still continue to develop themselves with more control of their fermentation processes; the release of new innovations such as our US Brewers Cup winning, 100% farm made decaf and our own tisane made from ground coffee cherry. Traveling to share and learn from other origins, developing their soil management protocols and constantly questioning how they can improve in all areas and remain leaders in the industry.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: 
The journey of Azahar Perfume begins with the exceptional Gesha variety, cultivated by Hernández Family in Nogales Coffee Farm, placed at a high-altitude region where microclimates and cool temperatures enhance the coffee’s sweetness and aromatic potential. Known for its balanced acidity and floral elegance, this variety provides the ideal foundation for one of the most unique and delicate washed coffees ever produced in Colombia.

The process begins with handpicking only the ripest cherries, ensuring uniformity and exceptional quality. Skilled pickers carefully select each cherry at its peak maturity. Once harvested, the cherries undergo a two-stage selection process designed to guarantee purity and consistency. First, the cherries are washed and sanitized with treated water to remove residues, surface impurities, and any external contaminants. Then, they are floated by density—a traditional Colombian quality control step—to separate underdeveloped or defective cherries from the premium ones.

After selection, the cherries are depulped and fermented anaerobically for 48 hours in plastic tanks, allowing them to ferment naturally in their own sugars. This controlled anaerobic fermentation enhances the coffee’s complexity while preserving its clean and balanced profile. The absence of oxygen during fermentation encourages the development of delicate floral and sweet notes.

Once fermentation is complete, the coffee enters its most distinctive stage: sun drying in contact with orange blossom flowers for approximately three weeks. This slow, floral-influenced drying process gently transfers the aroma into the beans, adding intricate layers of fragrance and flavor. To finalize the process, the coffee is stabilized for 30 days in GrainPro bags, allowing the flavors to harmonize and reach full maturity. This stage is essential to preserve the coffee’s stability, ensuring it arrives to roasters and importers in optimal condition.
