Cauca, Colombia

Forget everything you know about decaf. This is a vibrant, "true-to-origin" cup that sparkles with mandarin acidity and the sweetness of fresh sugar cane. As the cup cools, deep notes of red fruits and smooth chocolate emerge. It is clean, syrupy, and remarkably balanced—a specialty coffee in its own right

About the Region

Map of Colombia, with Cauca marked — where this coffee grows

Located at an average of 1,700 m.a.s.l., Popayán sits in a high-altitude plateau sheltered by the towering Andes mountain range. This unique geography creates a "climatic pocket" with incredibly consistent temperatures (16–22°C) and nutrient-dense volcanic ash soil.

We work with a dedicated group of approximately 75 growers in this region. Through our long-term partnership program, these farmers receive premiums of up to 20% above market price, incentivizing the meticulous harvesting required to produce an 85+ score coffee.

About the Coffee

This decaf isn't just an afterthought; it’s a selection of the finest Colombia, Castillo, and Caturra varieties. After being washed and dried on raised beds for 5–7 days, the green beans undergo a natural decaffeination process that actually enhances the coffee’s inherent sweetness.

The Sugar Cane (EA) Process:

Natural Extraction: Using a derivative of local sugar cane (Ethyl Acetate) and mountain spring water, the caffeine is gently dissolved over 8 hours.
Flavor Preservation: Unlike chemical-heavy methods, this "natural" process avoids high pressure and extreme heat, protecting the bean’s cellular structure.
The Result: A coffee that tastes like coffee. The sugar cane process leaves the fruity, floral, and chocolatey attributes fully intact while removing 99.9% of the caffeine.
