Colombia - Popayán (Sugar Cane Decaf)
Tasting Notes:
Notes of silky toffee sweetness, moving into an oily chocolate mousse mouthfeel. The taste has a well-balanced Raspberry acidity that helps this stand out thru Milk based beverages.
Roasters thoughts:
“A surprisingly amazing decaf. We knew this was a great tasting decaf but once we put it into our production roasting environment it's exceeded all our expectations. Whether you drink your decaf black or with milk it's a serious standout.”
The Coffee:
Popayán is located in the department of Cauca at 1,700 m.a.s.l. This regions topography is perfect to grow exceptional coffee! The so-called Meseta de Popayan is sheltered by the Andes mountain range which helps generate homogeneous climatic and altitudinal characteristics. The result is a balanced cup profile with floral and caramel notes. We collaborate with approximately 65 growers who contribute to this program and with whom we build long-term relationships. This program encourages farmers to focus on quality and based on quality assessment we provide up to 20% premiums above the market price.
This decaffeination process is unique. The caffeine is extracted using sugar cane and water which enhances sweetness while maintaining coffee attributes. The green beans are put into a steam chamber where the silver skin is removed from the bean. After this, the beans are submerged in spring water and as soon as the coffee is saturated with water it is sent to the extractors where the beans have direct contact with sugar cane E.A for 8 hours which dissolves the caffeine content. Then the decaffeinated coffee is dried in a chamber to reach the same moisture content that it had prior to the process.

Customer Reviews
Really happy we tried this brand and will definitely be coming back for more.
The quality of these beans is unparalleled, they look, taste and behave just like normal coffee. I prefer my coffee black but often found myself adding milk to help cover up the abhorrent taste of most decaf beans. This is absolutely not required in this instance, they have a smooth and well balanced flavour profile that stands up all on its own and just look at that crema!
I've been in the chase of a good decaf for a while now. I tried more than 7 different roasters, but this one or in general Decaf Co beans are really delicious and give you very buttery espresso.
I’ve always struggled to find a decent decaf but this stuff is amazing!! No reason to feel that I’m missing out anymore. Also runs so well through my coffee machine, no other decaf has given such a smooth crema. Will continue being a repeat customer.
Really enjoy this blend, tastes like normal coffee and full of flavour!
