Tumbaga Sugarcane Decaf is sourced through Sucafina’s sister company, Sucafina Colombia, and takes decaffeinated coffee to the next level. While most decafs use old coffee, they start with high-quality coffee sourced through our integrated supply chain.

Knowing that the decaffeination process enhances sweetness and acidity, our quality control teams choose coffees with high body, high sweetness, and low acidity. With this strong foundation, they create a balanced, chocolatey, sweet cup that we believe is the best on the market.

Thanks to Colombia’s incredible climate diversity, they can offer a consistent Tumbaga profile year-round. Sustainable supply chains ensure you can expect that consistency at accessible prices, while also supporting producer resilience. Sourcing follows the harvest seasons and usually comes from Tolima or Cauca during the summer months and from Antioquia or the regions in Eje Cafetero in the winter.

Sugarcane decaffeination uses a naturally occurring compound, ethyl acetate (EA), to decaffeinate the coffee. The EA process is relatively straightforward. The coffee beans are moistened with water, and EA circulates through the beans. The EA binds to the caffeine in the beans and extracts it while preserving most of the other flavor compounds. Once the desired caffeine level is reached, the EA residue is removed from the beans by steaming them.
