Floral & Chocolatey Colombian Decaf Specialty Coffee

The beans from Colombia's Huila region are grown at altitudes ranging from 1600 to 2000 meters above sea level. They are carefully handpicked from small farms, especially in the municipality of Pitalito, which is renowned for its ideal microclimate, perfect for producing high-quality specialty coffee.

Natural Sugar Cane Decaffeination Process

  • Beans are soaked in fresh mountain spring water.
  • Treated with naturally occurring Ethyl Acetate from sugar cane.
  • No synthetic chemicals or harsh processing.
  • Retains the coffee's original structure, aroma, and complexity.

This method creates a decaf specialty coffee that's rich, flavorful, and virtually indistinguishable from caffeinated coffee.
