This is a decaffeinated Colombian coffee processed using the Swiss Water Process, which decaffeninates the coffee while retaining its natural taste and aromatic qualities. It offers a smooth and balanced flavor profile with notes of nougat, almond, and milk chocolate. The coffee is roasted to a medium level and is suitable for pour over, drip, and espresso brewing methods.
Voyager Craft Coffee started as a coffee trailer in San Jose, founded by Sameer Shah and Lauren Burns and built into a roasting operation around a 15 kilogram Giesen. The company has remained entirely self funded as it has grown, sourcing single origin coffees from Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ethiopia, and Colombia through direct trade relationships with farmers. Voyager reports paying roughly three times the commodity price for its arabica coffee. The operation pursues zero to landfill goals, composting used coffee grounds and donating leftover food. It is a roaster that has chosen deliberate, local growth over rapid expansion, keeping its footprint rooted in Santa Clara County.
