Decaf - ripe berries come to those who wait
About this coffee...
Grower+farm: Wilton Benitez, Granja Paraiso 92
Variety: Colombia
Region: Cauca, Colombia
Process: Anaerobic fermentation
Harvest: October- November
We chose this as our first release because it has a taste profile that is experiential while also being easy to drink everyday. It's hard to come by a coffee that is both, especially anaerobic fermented ones. The fact that this is also decaf?! That adds whole other layers of expertise to achieve such a balanced and interesting cup.
We taste a combination of ripe plums up front, very ripe berries (strawberries and blackberries) mid-palate, and orange peel in the finish. This is a sweet and balanced coffee that is well-structured, has a creamy body, and finishes very cleanly. This coffee outperforms most caffeinated coffees we taste; for a decaf, this truly a unique experience.
