Small Batch Series: Seasonal Coffee at Its Best

The Small Batch Series brings you limited coffees that are fresh, traceable, and full of character. This release features Red & Yellow Bourbon microlots from El Vergel Estate in Colombia, grown by Elias & Shady Bayter and their partner Martha Montenegro. Formerly avocado farmers, the Bayters shifted to coffee in 2006 and have been perfecting their approach ever since.

These microlots are planted among guava trees and processed using a natural anaerobic fermentation that lasts 48 to 60 hours with carefully controlled pH levels. 🌱 After fermentation, the beans go through an intermittent drying process that enhances their complexity. ☀️ A 45-day chilling period follows, fine-tuning the vibrant flavors. ❄️

The result is a coffee with lively tropical notes, bright berry and plum flavors, crisp acidity, and a subtle hint of cocoa. 🍓🍑🍫

A Farm Built on Innovation and Sustainability
At El Vergel, coffee farming goes hand in hand with care for the environment and the local community:
🌳 ReForest Program – Restoring native shade trees to support biodiversity.
☀️ Solar Energy – Reducing the farm’s carbon footprint with renewable energy.
🏡 Community Support – Providing housing for farm workers and improving local schools.

This microlot represents what makes coffee special: hard work, thoughtful processes, and flavors that stand out. Whether you’re a fan of fruit-forward profiles or exploring something new, this coffee is worth trying.

What a coffee!!

As soon as I opened the bag I knew I was in for something special- what an aroma.

My first extraction – from 22 g of beans – was absolutely stunning. It poured like honey with a beautiful thick creamer. I made a latte and the coffee really blossomed in milk. I could certainly taste the guava, with hints of banana and plum, And it had a pleasing acidity but no bitterness.

As an espresso shot he had full flavour and in intensity.

I’ve been experimenting with frozen Coffee recently – an extraction from 22 g of frozen beans revealed even more depth of flavour to this wonderful coffee.

Walk, don’t run, to get yourself some of this Coffee! I can’t wait to get my next batch.

A genuine coffee experience

A first class process and roast combination here. Exactly what I was looking for in my filter options. V60 or Aeropress in the middle of the afternoon, set some time aside and treat yourself to something special. If you are looking for a gold standard specialty coffee option without the caffeine, and absolutely no sacrifice of anything else “specialty”, Brendan has hit the mark here. I couldn’t recommend more highly.

Tasty Coffee

Nice coffee that is really sweet with a pleasant acidity. There is an odd banana skin-like flavour that detracts from it a bit, but once the sweetness and acidity takes over you don't notice it as much.

Would be 4.5 if i could do half stars.

Loving this - Flavourful but balanced acidity

First, a general comment. It's wonderful to have specialty decaf available vs the single generic offering from almost every other roaster. My mornings are far too rushed to sit back and really enjoy a quality cup like this. By the time I can relax into it, I'm past the time when caffeine will keep me awake at night.
Re this particular bean ... it's fantastic. I wasn't sure that I would like it, since I'd heard the anaerobic process might be enjoyed by very sophisticated/experienced palettes only. I found the acidity very flavourful but well balanced (and I'm by no means a sophisticated/experienced palette).
Brewed 13.7g to 220g (1:16) in Fellow Aiden on the standard medium roast program through a rinsed Cafec Abeca Filter (I have tried to make my own progams but the built-in ones always taste better - see above re not experienced).

Sensational Brew!

Just received these beans today and oh boy... what a delight! Brewed through a V60 and the flavour profile is delicious - unlike any other decaf I have had before (or full caff either!). Love what Decaf Co are doing in the world of high quality, delicious coffee.
