This coffee is from Huila, Colombia, grown by selected smallholder producers at 1700-1800 meters altitude. The coffee consists of Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia varieties, processed using the washed method and decaffeinated with the Sugarcane EA process. The EA decaffeination process uses ethyl acetate derived from fermented sugarcane molasses, processing the coffee at source in Colombia to reduce carbon footprint. The process maintains moisture levels and avoids excessive heat or pressure. Flavor notes include honey, cherry, and toffee.
