Mellow Moon - Colombia Decaf

About This Coffee

A deliciously sweet and balanced decaf coffee sourced from smallholders in the Huila and Tolima regions of Colombia. This lot is named "El Buho" (The Owl). The coffee uses the E.A. (Ethyl Acetate) Sugarcane decaffeination process, a natural method where beans are steamed to increase porosity, then submerged in ethyl acetate solvent until 97% of caffeine is removed. The beans are Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia varieties, grown at 1500-1700 MASL altitude and washed processed.

Chipp Coffee Co.

Zach Chipp registered the company in 2016 as a roasting consultancy, then turned it into a full roasting business after moving back to his hometown of Leeds in 2019. His path to roasting was unusually varied: starting as a bartender at Jamie's Italian at 18, managing accounts for Musetti across venues like the Savoy, Claridges, and the Ritz, then training as a commercial roaster at York Coffee Emporium and consulting internationally through Coffee Nexus in Edinburgh, working in Bahrain, Dubai, Jamaica, and Italy. He started roasting late in 2018 in a corner of his father's warehouse on Dewsbury Road with a tiny roaster and half a bag of coffee. The operation now runs from a small industrial space in Holbeck with a range of 10 to 15 blends and fully compostable pods, supplying Leeds venues including Kapow Coffee, Coffee Synthesis, and Out Of The Woods.
