Colombia Atunkaa Decaf

About This Coffee

This decaf coffee is sourced from the Central Cauca Association for Peace (ACC) in Piendamó, Cauca, Colombia, at 1700-1900 meters altitude. The Castillo variety coffee is washed processed, then decaffeinated using a sustainable sugarcane-based Ethyl Acetate process by Descafecol. Coffee cherries are picked very ripe and floated to select the best cherries. They undergo mechanical dehydration at 28°C for 48 hours to 20% moisture, followed by 24-hour fermentation in sealed bags. Drying occurs in mechanical silos at 37°C to 15% moisture, then in parabolic drying systems to 10% moisture. The coffee features vibrant notes of orange, apple, and sweet Coco Pops with a floral and citrusy profile. Cup score is 85.5.
