Behind the Beans
Delivered by sailboat the Ida Min, this decaf is really something special. The Meseta de Popayán is sheltered by the Andes Mountains, which helps to create a uniform climate and altitude. This coffee is a washed process where cherries are floated and sorted before being pulped and washed to remove all the cherry and mucilage. Parchments of coffee are then placed on patios to dry over 20+ days. After this first washed process, the milled coffee is delivered to Descafecol in Manizales for decaffeination using the sugar cane process.

Normally we drink Ethiopian, Rwandan or Sumatran coffee and like Rwandan decaf also, but thought we would give Colombian a try and were nicely surprised!
Smooth flavour, I really can’t believe it’s decaf!
