BEANOGRAPHY

Phoenix Decaffeinated now comes from Isaías Vargas González at El Jardín in Teruel, Huila, Colombia.

The coffee is composed of Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia varieties grown between approximately 1300 and 1500 metres.

It is washed before undergoing Sugar Cane E.A. decaffeination.

The stated tasting profile is cantaloupe, tangelo, and praline.

Keeping Isaías Vargas González and El Jardín prominent is particularly important with decaffeinated coffee. Decaffeination is a processing stage applied to an agricultural product that already has a producer, farm, varieties, elevation, and origin.

ORIGIN

Teruel, Huila — Colombia

Isaías Vargas González produced this coffee at El Jardín in Huila.

The source identifies Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia as the varieties represented in the lot and gives an elevation range of approximately 1300–1500 metres.

Those details remain part of the coffee after decaffeination and belong in its identity alongside the method subsequently used to remove caffeine.

PROCESSING METHOD

Washed + Sugar Cane E.A. Decaffeination

This coffee is washed before undergoing ethyl acetate decaffeination.

E.A. stands for ethyl acetate.

The Sugar Cane E.A. designation distinguishes this method from other decaffeination systems, including the Swiss Water process used for the previous Phoenix decaffeinated offering.

For this current product, the documented designation is Washed + Sugar Cane E.A. Decaffeination.

PRODUCER SPOTLIGHT

Isaías Vargas González

El Jardín

Isaías Vargas González is the named producer behind the current Phoenix decaffeinated offering.

His coffee comes from El Jardín in Teruel, Huila, and contains Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia varieties.

That producer information remains central to the product because decaffeinated describes something that happens to the coffee; it does not replace the identity of the person who grew it.
