Colombia Pink Bourbon Decaf EA Washed

This coffee is an intentional union of different micro-lots showcasing the unique and regional-specific sensorial attributes of the Huila region in Colombia. The five producers who contributed to the union are: Edilberto Vergana (Finca Las Flores), Rafael Aya Martinez, Juan Carlos Artunduaga (Finca La Granada), Cesar Mauricio Figueroa (Finca El Porvenir),Gabriel Castaño Buendia (Finca La Granada). The cherries were decaffeinated at the Descafecol Decaffeination Plant in Manizales. The Ethyl Acetate decaffeination process uses a naturally derived solvent made from sugar cane, blackberry and beets. The coffee is steamed, then rinsed repeatedly with the EA solution to remove the caffeine, before being dried and sealed with a natural wax. This process preserves the inherent qualities of the coffee while also introducing some sweetness and complexity.
