What DecafCo say
"...Notes of silky toffee sweetness, moving into an oily chocolate mousse mouthfeel..."
"...The taste has a well-balanced Raspberry acidity that helps this stnd out thru Milk based beverages."
Another delightful organic decaf. Upfront notes of Brown Sugar and juicy Nectarine Acidity. Ending with a lovely and subtle note of Nutmeg. This is a pearler of a decaf, super well balanced and would please alot of crowds. Not to mention this is an Organic!
Popayán is located in the department of Cauca at 1,700 m.a.s.l. This regions topography is perfect to grow exceptional coffee! The so-called Meseta de Popayan is sheltered by the Andes mountain range which helps generate homogeneous climatic and altitudinal characteristics. The result is a balanced cup profile with floral and caramel notes. We collaborate with approximately 65 growers who contribute to this program and with whom we build long-term relationships. This program encourages farmers to focus on quality and based on quality assessment we provide up to 20% premiums above the market price.
This decaffeination process is unique. The caffeine is extracted using sugar cane and water which enhances sweetness while maintaining coffee attributes. The green beans are put into a steam chamber where the silver skin is removed from the bean. After this, the beans are submerged in spring water and as soon as the coffee is saturated with water it is sent to the extractors where the beans have direct contact with sugar cane E.A for 8 hours which dissolves the caffeine content. Then the decaffeinated coffee is dried in a chamber to reach the same moisture content that it had prior to the process.
Our coffee is decaffeinated using the Sugarcane Process , a natural method that uses ethyl acetate derived from fermented sugarcane.
It gently removes caffeine while preserving the coffee’s full body and natural sweetness. Enjoy a rich, worry-free brew any time of day — without compromising on taste.
Because this coffee is decaffeinated using the Sugarcane Process — a natural method that uses ethyl acetate , derived from fermented sugarcane , to remove caffeine.
Just the sweet, full-bodied flavour of the coffee, preserved through a method that enhances its natural smoothness.
It’s one of the few decaf methods that actually adds flavour , not strips it away.
So yes — this one really does taste as good as it smells.
