DECAF COLOMBIA

This is a decaffeinated coffee with a clean, fruity character and pleasant sweetness. It retains the natural freshness and complexity of high-altitude Colombian Arabica, offering full flavor without the caffeine.

The coffee comes from CUMBRES, a family business in Antioquia now run by the fourth generation of coffee producers. The company works with growers from different regions of Colombia, including high-altitude farms in Nariño.

The farms are located at elevations of 1,800–2,100 meters, where cooler nights, wide temperature swings, and volcanic soils allow the cherries to ripen more slowly. As a result, the beans are denser, and the coffee develops more pronounced sweetness, pleasant acidity, and a richer flavor profile.

The Sugar Cane Decaf method was used to remove the caffeine, using ethyl acetate (EA) derived from sugarcane. The green beans are first soaked in water, then the caffeine is gently removed with a natural compound also found in fruit. After thorough rinsing and drying, the coffee retains its original character, offering a clean, sweet, and balanced flavor without the off-notes typical of many decaffeinated coffees.
