BEANOGRAPHY

Decaffeinated should never feel like a compromise. This lot is built to show exactly that — a cup with lift, sweetness, and structure, carrying vibrant notes of empire apple, dark molasses, and candied orange. It is dynamic without being aggressive, and complete without relying on caffeine to make an impression.

This coffee comes from Monkaaba in San Augustín, Huila, and is made up of ten producer members whose work contributes to a decaf that still feels alive with origin character. The processing matters here. Rather than flattening the cup, the ethyl acetate method preserves sweetness and clarity, allowing the coffee’s natural fruit and sugar structure to remain intact through roasting and brewing.

What makes this coffee compelling is not novelty, but integrity. It holds together. The fruit is clean, the sweetness is grounded, and the finish is composed. It drinks like a real coffee because it is one — just without the noise.

PROCESSING METHOD

Ethyl Acetate & Washed

This coffee is naturally decaffeinated using ethyl acetate, a solvent derived through the fermentation of sugar-based alcohols. In processing terms, the method removes caffeine while preserving much of the coffee’s soluble structure and origin expression. Combined with a washed process, it helps produce a cup with cleaner acidity, defined sweetness, and a more articulate flavour profile than decaf has historically been given credit for.
