Description

Variety: V. Colombia, Caturra, Castillo Region: Suaza, Huila, Colombia Altitude: 13-1950 Meters Above Sea Level Process: Ethyl Acetate Washed Harvest: September 2025 Notes: Milk Chocolate, Praline & Almond This Decaf is well balanced and approachable from the start. Decaf Divino's coffee proffers a full bodied feel with rich notes of chocolate, pillowy brown sugar sweetness and weighted almond buttery creaminess. As an espresso, this coffee makes a wonderful shot and is a general pleasure to consume.  This decaffeinated coffee comes from five producers within the Divino Niño located in the municipality of Suaza, Colombia. These are long-time partners of ours whom take great care in their farming practices. This decaf lot is differentiated by it's higher quality cherry production. Decaf Divino was decaffeinated at the Descafecol plant in Manizales by using the organic compound ethyl acetate of which was derived from fermented Colombian sugarcane. This process is much more gentle than the commonly used water process, leaving much more of the seed (and flavor) intact. Having the decaffeination process done locally helps us pursue our goal of investing further in the people of Colombia. We also prefer this method of decaffeination to any other, it preserves the mass structure and flavor of the coffee seed. The results make for a sweet, balanced and furthermore nuanced representation of the cultivars included.  Order by Sunday for next Monday's roast. Shipped on Tuesdays. Our coffees are best after two weeks+ of the roast date.
