This decaffeinated community lot is sourced from 14 producers in Nariño, Colombia, specifically around the town of Buesaco. The coffee is processed using a combination of cherry fermentation and de-pulped fermentation, followed by a low and slow drying process. It is decaffeinated in-country using the Ethyl Acetate (EA) sugar process, which utilizes sugarcane molasses to remove 97% or more of the caffeine. This lot represents a collaborative effort to support Nariño producers.
Based in Philadelphia, Poem Coffee Roasters operates as a tiny boutique roasting company dedicated to ultra small batch production at the highest level. Their entire production schedule revolves around a single roasting day each week, with all coffees roasted to order exclusively on Tuesdays. This practice allows them to capture seasonally sourced specialty beans that reflect fleeting points in time, creating a limited and intentional coffee experience that celebrates the unique characteristics of each harvest.
