This is a decaf coffee from the Huila region of Colombia, sourced from the Asprotimana Cooperative smallholder farmers in the towns of Timaná, Suaza, Elías, Tarquí, and Pitalito. Grown at elevations between 1300-1800 meters, this coffee is washed and processed using Ethyl Acetate (EA) derived from natural cane sugar at Descafecol in Manizales, Colombia. The result is a chocolatey, full-bodied decaf with low acidity, featuring tasting notes of chocolate malt, hazelnut, and caramel. The roast is tailored for balanced espresso drinks and satisfying drip brewed coffee.
Bassline Coffee was founded in May 2020 by Bradley Katz, an audio video engineer whose custom sound system business was upended by the pandemic, along with co founder Greg Pescheret. Based in Oakland, California, the roastery produces small batches weekly at CoRo, a shared roasting facility in Berkeley that supports a community of roasting professionals. The range spans light through dark roasts, with notable blends including the Bassline Espresso (Brazil and Ethiopia) and the Piccino Blend, a dark roast collaboration with Piccino Coffee Bar in San Francisco. Wholesale accounts include venues across the Bay Area and Lake Tahoe.
