Description
Finally a decaf coffee without the decaf taste, so you can still enjoy the taste and experience of specialty coffee without the high amount of caffeine.
This sugarcane-processed coffee was grown in the heart of Colombia’s coffee region, in the Huila area.
This coffee is described as sweet, balanced, and smooth, with a notable harmony between its honeyed body and medium acidity, making it a delightful choice for those who appreciate decaffeinated coffee with depth and complexity.
About this coffee
Huila is renowned for its strategic geographic location and favorable climate, which are ideal for producing specialty coffees.
The beans selected for decaffeination are from smallholder coffee growers in Pitalito, ensuring that the coffee benefits from the unique microclimate and freshness of the current harvest year.
This careful sourcing contributes to the coffee’s distinctive sweetness, cleanliness, and acidity.
The sugarcane decaffeination process used for this coffee involves using Ethyl Acetate (EA), a compound naturally found in sugarcane, combined with high mountain spring water.
This method gently extracts caffeine from the coffee beans without the use of synthetic chemicals, preserving the beans’ natural structure and flavor characteristics.
