La Cristalina

About This Coffee

This decaffeinated coffee is produced by the Grajales family at the La Cristalina farm in the Quindio region of Colombia, at altitudes up to 2000 meters. It is a Castillo variety coffee processed using the natural Sugar Cane decaffeination method, which helps preserve the bean's original flavor profile. The coffee offers a fruity and sweet profile with distinct tasting notes of cocoa nibs and mirabelle plum.

Co-founders Matthias Hoppenworth and Julian Ploch have been roasting on a Giesen W30A in their Sachsenhausen roastery since 2019, with a strong focus on light roasts that reveal the full complexity of each origin. They were named Roaster of the Year 2021 by Crema Magazine, and their team includes a German Roasting Master champion. Alongside their three Frankfurt cafés — including one in the beautifully reconstructed new Altstadt — they run popular barista courses and supply offices and restaurants.
