This is a single origin decaf coffee from Colombia, specifically from the Huila region. The coffee is grown at elevations between 1400-2000 meters. The varieties include Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia. It is processed using the washed method and decaffeinated using the sugarcane decaf process (ethyl acetate method). The coffee features tasting notes of praline and graham with balanced sweetness and mild acidity. It is medium-dark roasted and suitable for espresso, French press, and Aeropress brewing methods.
Karina and Marcus Luscher established Salto Coffee in 2012, roasting at 8,200 feet elevation in the mountain town of Nederland, Colorado. Karina is the primary force behind roasting operations, making Salto a woman run specialty roastery with a distinctly high altitude perspective on the craft. Production runs on a Diedrich IR 12 paired with Cropster software, and head roaster Rob Langone conducts origin trips to stay close to farming practices and sourcing decisions. Their lineup includes signature blends, seasonal single origins, and limited reserve lots, all roasted in small batches. Salto was a finalist for the 2024 MTPak Coffee Packaging Design Awards, with bag designs that draw on the mountain landscape surrounding the roastery.
