This decaffeinated coffee originates from Colombia, specifically from the Huila region, and is produced by ASPROTimana. It is processed using the washed method and decaffeinated using the ethyl acetate process, which uses sugarcane oil and intense pressure to remove caffeine while preserving the natural fruit flavors. The decaffeination process is done through a partnership with RACAFE. The coffee features tasting notes of milk chocolate, strawberry, and graham cracker.
Victrola Coffee Roasters was founded in Seattle in 2000 by Chris Sharp and Jen Strongin, and began roasting its own coffee three years later in a small back room of the original location. The company imports roughly 90 percent of its green coffee directly from the farmers and cooperatives it has built relationships with over two decades. Many of those coffees are shade grown, reflecting a commitment to sourcing practices that sustain the ecological systems where coffee is cultivated. That philosophy of equity and transparency runs through every part of the operation, shaping how Victrola approaches everything from producer relationships to the roasting process itself.
