A naturally decaffeinated coffee from Garzón - Huila, Colombia, processed using the sugar cane ethyl acetate (E.A.) method. The beans are grown at 1,450 - 1,800 meters altitude and feature varieties Caturra, Castillo, and Colombia. This is a washed coffee with flavor notes of almond, panela, and bright orange acidity. The decaffeination process takes place in Manizales, Colombia, where sugar cane is used to create ethyl acetate that strips caffeine from the coffee while preserving its delicate flavor characteristics.
Milly, a Colombian from a generation of coffee growers, founded Colombia Coffee Roasters in Oxford. The company sources 100 percent arabica from her family farm and neighboring high altitude farms in Colombia, maintaining direct relationships that guarantee both quality and fair conditions. Roasting happens in house on a Giesen roaster at their facility in Wheatley, just outside Oxford. The Covered Market location was voted Best Cafe in Oxford in 2022 by the Oxford Mail, and a second cafe in Summertown took second place in the same awards. The approach spans the full tree to cup chain: sourcing, roasting, and brewing, with multiple brew methods available in the cafes including syphon, V60, Chemex, and AeroPress.
