COLOMBIA VALLE DEL CAUCA 

Caturra • Castillo • Clean, Sweet, Fully Expressive

☕ James’ Tasting Experience

“This is where decaf stops feeling like a compromise.”

Right away, it opens with this yellow honey-like & brown sugar sweetness, and progressess towards a milk chocolate—soft, round, super approachable, with a delightful sipping experience of light red berry and soft strawberry acidity.

Then you start to notice the layers:

• Almond nuttiness giving it structure
• A gentle strawberry note adding a subtle fruit lift
• A smooth vanilla-like finish that rounds everything out

And then—this bright citrus edge comes in just enough to keep it lively.

It’s balanced, comforting, and honestly…
👉 you don’t miss the caffeine at all.

🌍 Origin Story

• High elevation clarity
• Balanced sweetness
• Clean, structured cup profiles

💧 EA Decaffeination (Sugarcane Process)

This coffee is decaffeinated using the Ethyl Acetate (EA) process, often called the “sugarcane decaf” method.

Here’s why it matters:

• Uses a naturally derived compound from sugarcane
• Preserves flavor integrity and sweetness
• Results in a clean, vibrant cup—not flat or stripped

👉 Translation: this still tastes like real coffee
