About This Coffee

A decaffeinated coffee from the small village of Argelia, located in the southwest of the Cauca department, Colombia. Cauca is the fourth largest producer of specialty coffee in Colombia, with approximately 90,000 smallholder farmers cultivating coffee on an average of about 1 hectare of land. These farmers are often part of small associations with limited market access. The coffee is listed under both filter and modern espresso categories. The slug references a natural processing method.

Mlsnacava

Mlsnacava is the roasting project of Šimon Staš, René Hauser, and Matúš Gulbiš, three colleagues better known in the Slovak coffee industry through their company STACOMB Coffee Consultants, which distributes premium equipment from brands like Victoria Arduino, Nuova Simonelli, and Acaia across the country. Based in Banská Bystrica in central Slovakia, the trio holds the distinction of being the only SCA certified trainers in the nation and among just three active Q Graders. They trained their roasting approach in Copenhagen and have built a technology focused operation with a long term goal of bringing a Loring roaster to Slovakia and establishing a shared roasting facility for the local community. Every coffee is selected without compromise, and the roastery's name reflects their worldview: a pursuit of flavor that leaves no room for shortcuts.
