Description
This unique decaf from Caldas, Colombia, proves that decaf coffee doesn't have to be boring. Thanks to natural decaffeination using sugar cane, this coffee retains its full aroma and rich flavor, without the stimulant effect of caffeine. Ideal for those who want to enjoy a quality cup of coffee any time of the day – or evening.
Origin
The beans are grown in the municipality of Manzanares, in the heart of the Caldas region, at an altitude of 1,600 to 1,950 meters. This region is part of Colombia's famous "Eje Cafetero" and is known for its ideal microclimate and rich volcanic soils. The varieties used – Castillo and Caturra – are grown by a group of small, local farmers committed to sustainable agricultural practices.
Natural decaffeination
Caffeine is extracted from the green beans using the ethyl acetate (EA) method, based on natural sugarcane byproducts. This process is done locally in Colombia and is gentler than many other methods, preserving the coffee's original flavor notes. Moreover, this model reduces the ecological footprint because the decaffeination process isn't performed elsewhere in the world.
Flavor profile
This decaf surprises with a creamy body and balanced acidity. Expect a soft, sweet flavor profile with notes of milk chocolate, brown sugar, and nougat. The finish reveals subtle notes of dried fruit, caramel, and a hint of cola. The aftertaste is long and silky smooth, with a pleasant sweetness that beckons you to take another sip.
For espresso & filter
The roast is carefully balanced for both espresso and filter brews. Whether you're brewing a full-bodied lungo, a balanced cappuccino, or a smooth V60, this coffee delivers a clear and rounded cup every time. Ideal as an evening coffee, a decaf option with dessert, or simply when you crave a premium coffee without the kick.
