About this coffee
This lot was grown by 14 small-scale producers in the hills surrounding the town of San Antonio, where the rich, volcanic soil, cool temperatures and high rainfall support the production of beautifully sweet and complex coffees.
About the process
There are a number of ways that caffeine can be removed from coffee. We’ve chosen the EA sugarcane process, which uses water and a natural compound found in sugarcane to gently remove the caffeine from the bean. And while over 99% of the caffeine is removed, the inherent flavour and quality of the coffee remain intact.
Happily, this processing method is available in Colombia, decaffeinated locally and shipped to us fresh. The result is a sweet, clean and well-structured coffee with a lovely buttery mouthfeel. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to skip the caffeine and still enjoy a beautiful cup of coffee!
