This decaffeinated coffee originates from Valle del Cauca, Colombia, sourced from smallholders across the region. The coffee is decaffeinated using the sugarcane ethyl acetate process, where ethyl acetate is derived from fermented sugarcane molasses. This organic compound effectively removes caffeine while preserving the coffee's flavor attributes. Valle del Cauca is one of Colombia's two main biological conservation corridors, featuring World Heritage-listed national parks and carefully preserved natural resources. The flavor profile features chocolate, citrus, and roasted almond notes.
Flag & Wire Coffee was established in the summer of 2015 in McMinnville, Oregon, following a rebrand of Chrysalis Coffeehouse and Mud River Coffee Roasting. The roastery employs air roasting technology for small batch production, a method that differs from conventional drum roasters and is calibrated to produce lightly roasted beans that accentuate the full character of each coffee. The cafe at 755 NE Alpine Avenue serves as both a retail space and the hub of a wholesale program that supplies partners across Oregon.
