About the producers

This mixed varietal coffee is produced by a co-operative of farmers across Colombia's famous Huila region- 'Los Veintitrés', Spanish for 'The Twenty-three', refers to the producers who contribute to this fantastic lot.

Processing

The coffee undergoes a 60-hour dry fermentation process, followed by drying on raised beds and mechanical dryers, with a total drying time of 15 to 30 days. It is then decaffeinated using a natural substance from sugarcane, called Ethyl Acetate- this allows us to maximise the retention of the coffee's flavours whilst minimising the often harsh taste of the the decaffeination process.

Flavour

Due to the more gentle nature of the sugarcane decaffeination process, this coffee retains a lot of it's original character. Keeping a lot of the stone fruit flavour you can usually find from Colombian coffees, this decaf lot has notes of apricot, with a balanced acidity. A creamy and chocolatey profile creates a comforting and approachable experience for every palate.
