El Carmen is a decaffeinated coffee from the Huila region of Colombia, grown at altitudes between 1400 and 2100 meters. It is a blend of Castillo, Caturra, Pink Bourbon, and Pacamara varieties. The coffee undergoes a sugarcane decaffeination process, which uses natural ethyl acetate to remove 97% of the caffeine. This results in a clean, sweet cup characterized by notes of caramel, honey, apple, and a smooth chocolatey finish.
