This coffee is a single-origin decaf from Granja El Paraíso-92 in Piendamó, Cauca, Colombia. It uses a Caturra and Colombia origin profile with a Natural Process plus EA Decaf. The EA decaffeination includes a sugarcane EA method, a 48-hour whole cherry fermentation, a 68-hour secondary fermentation, and washed with warm drying. The cup profile emphasizes chocolate sweetness, bright florals, and lively acidity.
Travas Clifton founded Modcup in 2013 and has built its reputation on experimental processing. Features include anaerobic fermentation, thermal shock washing, and co-fermentation with ingredients like dehydrated fruits or hops. These techniques produce intensely fruity, floral coffees that sit firmly on the adventurous end of specialty.
