Decaffeination
The decaffeination process takes place in Colombia, at the Descafecol plant in Manizales. The method uses ethyl acetate, derived from locally grown sugar cane in the region, as a natural solvent to remove caffeine. The carbon footprint is reduced because we avoid shipping the beans from one country to another and then back to us, in addition to maintaining the financial advantage in Colombia.
STORY
This blend is part of a program that our export partner Azahar Coffee has put in place in response to the unprecedented circumstances that have arisen during the global pandemic. As some of their high-scoring microlots failed to find takers, they decided to experiment and create high-quality decafs whose unique sensory qualities shine through the decaffeination process. This lot in particular is made possible thanks to the invaluable contribution of the following coffee producers: Luis Andrade Esquivel, Miguel Angel Medina, Hernan Montano Tovar, Luis Alberto Valenzuela, Victor Alfonso Sanchez, Diego Calderon Ramirez, Jose Angel Rivera Laguna, Anyela María Tumbo, Amin Cerquera , Astrid Lopez and Jhon Jairo Quintero.
