Location: Armenia, Quindio /Buenos Aires
Cultivar: Castillo
Process: Naturally dried, Sugarcane (EA) decaffeinated
Altitude: 1200 - 1700 masl
Taste Notes: Dark Chocolate, Nuts, CherryBest Brewed: Primarily filter based, but also good for milk based espresso drinks.
Roaster Notes:This is a real show stopper of a decaf! It's sugarcane adds a layer of sweetness, but because it's also naturally dried too, you have some real interesting notes of Cherry, Dark Chocolate, Hazelnuts. This makes an incredible filter coffee, and a funky espresso that works really well with milk.
Colombia Decaf - Jairo Arcila
This coffee was grown by Jairo Arcila at the farm Buenos Aires. This coffee was carefully hand-picked in order to select only the ripest cherries and then hand sorted to remove any defects. The coffee was sundried on raised beds in temperature-controlled conditions until the ideal moisture content is achieved. This decaffeination process is unique. The caffeine is extracted from the bean using sugar cane ethyl acetate (EA) and water which enhances sweetness while maintaining coffee attributes.
This microlot is 100% Castillo. This variety was developed by Federación Nacional de Cafeteros. It is more productive than Caturra and resistant to coffee leaf rust.Thanks to Cofinet for another incredible coffee from the legend that is Jairo!
