Colombia — Finca Los Nogales x Cata

This lot is shaped by post-harvest techniques developed in collaboration between Los Nogales, where the coffee was grown and processed, and Cata Export, who developed the technique – a partnership focused on pushing quality forward.

The coffee begins with a 72-hour oxidation in the cherry, allowing controlled exposure to oxygen for early flavour development. The cherries are then pulped, leaving the mucilage intact and sealed in tanks for a 36-hour, anaerobic fermentation, that builds on the existing flavour. A light wash follows, removing some (but not all) of the mucilage before drying, halting fermentation.

The result is a decadent cup, with rich, jammy notes.

Assembly Coffee

Context

This 50g sample from Assembly Coffee features beans from Colombia's Finca Los Nogales processed using an anaerobic method, a technique that restricts oxygen during fermentation to intensify flavor development. Assembly identifies jammy character in the cup—a hallmark of anaerobic processing, which tends to amplify fruit-forward, concentrated notes. The controlled fermentation environment allows for pronounced sweetness and deeper fruit expression compared to traditional methods. This sample offers an accessible entry point to explore how process shapes coffee's sensory profile, making it ideal for those curious about how anaerobic fermentation influences the beans' final character. The compact format invites experimentation and comparison alongside other origins or processes.
