About This Coffee

This decaffeinated coffee originates from the Santander region of Colombia, produced by the Women's Association 'El Trebol', a cooperative of 74 farms run by women. The coffee is decaffeinated using the Sugar Cane EA (ethyl acetate) method, a natural process that retains most of the coffee's original aromas. Roasted at an espresso medium level with a medium body, it features flavor notes of chocolate cookie, sugar cane, and blackberry, with fine acidity and notable sweetness. Cupping score: 85.

Schoen Kaffee

The Schön family moved from Munich to the village of Burgebrach near Bamberg in 2016, founding their specialty roastery the following year to realize a long held dream. They roast on a Probat P05 III with batch sizes ranging from three to six kilograms, sourcing all green coffee through small importers rather than wholesalers or middlemen, and only accepting beans that meet specialty cupping score standards. Transparency is central to their identity: as members of The Pledge, they publish purchasing prices and quantities on their website, inviting scrutiny of their sourcing ethics. Their packaging reflects the same values, using ecological Öko Line materials from the Ströbel company, crafted in Germany from kraft paper without aluminum. Schön Kaffee roasts several times a week with a philosophy of preserving the natural aromas of each bean, recommending consumption within two months of the roast date for optimal flavor.
