Origin Notes:
Valle Del Cauca Coffee Beans
Sourced from Colombia's Valle del Cauca, a UNESCO World Heritage region nestled between Tatama National Park and the Serrania de los Paraguas. This biodiverse corridor, recognized as part of Colombia's Coffee Cultural Landscape, is stewarded by farmers committed to agroecological practices and environmental stewardship. Elevated between 1,700-2,100 meters, the valley's enclosed geography creates a stable microclimate year-round, fostering exceptional coffee while preserving critical water sources and wildlife habitats. A cup that reflects both terroir and conservation.
Sugarcane Decaf Process
This decaf employs the sugarcane ethyl acetate process, a sophisticated method leveraging Colombia's abundant sugarcane resources. Fermented molasses yields ethanol, which combines with acetic acid to produce ethyl acetate—an organic solvent derived entirely from natural sources.
Low-pressure steam gently opens bean pores before immersion in the ethyl acetate solution, selectively binding to caffeine compounds while preserving the coffee's intricate flavor profile. The result: up to 97% caffeine removal without sacrificing the nuanced taste characteristics that define exceptional specialty coffee.
Colombian Coffee
Colombia's coffee heritage is built on the dedication of over half a million farming families cultivating small plots across volcanic mountain terrain. As the world's third-largest coffee producer, the nation commands unparalleled diversity and consistency, with 16 distinct growing regions spanning three mountain ranges and yielding two harvests annually. This geographic and climatic variety ensures Colombia perpetually delivers fresh, vibrant coffees of remarkable complexity—a testament to both the land's terroir and the expertise of generations of growers committed to their craft.
