COLOMBIA SANTANDER DECAF WASHED SINGLE ORIGIN
This stand-out decaf delivers a sweet, rich and balanced flavour profile but without the caffeine hit, thanks to the “Sugarcane” decaffeination process. The process uses a naturally occurring ester (found in fruit like bananas and also a byproduct of fermented sugarcane) to dissolve caffeine from the green beans, leaving untouched all the inherent flavours of the bean. The result is a flavourful and versatile cup – delicious as both an espresso and filter – with chocolate and hazelnut notes and lingering caramel sweetness.

This coffee is a blend of Castillo and Caturra produced by a group of farmers based in the Huila region of southwest Colombia. We sourced this coffee through Café Imports, an importer committed to developing longstanding partnerships with coffee producers in Colombia. Most of the coffee producers in the region manage only small parcels of land - 80% of farmers own less than three hectares. As a result, they undertake every step in growing and processing their coffee themselves, typically without any additional assistance - which is an incredibly time-consuming and labour-intensive feat.
