About this coffee

This coffee comes from two cooperatives representing over 240 indigenous families from the NASA WE’SX community in Planadas and Gaitania. Each producer cultivates 2 to 4 hectares of high-altitude land rich in biodiversity — with over 6000 trees per hectare in some cases.

The lot was decaffeinated at Decaf Manizales, in Colombia, using the Sugar Cane Process, a natural method that employs ethyl acetate derived from sugarcane. This gentle, chemical-free process preserves the coffee’s complexity while eliminating caffeine.

The project is also deeply community-driven. The ASCISP association, founded in 2014, empowers small producers through collective action rooted in ancestral respect for the land. In Tolima — a region once ravaged by conflict — coffee has become a powerful tool for healing and peacebuilding.

In the cup, this natural decaf surprises with its richness and depth. Expect a round body, mellow sweetness, and a layered flavour profile of berries, liquorice, brown sugar, rum, and malt.

A decaf with soul and substance — proof that caffeine isn’t everything.

🌊 Fresh Coffee Clean Ocean (FCCO)

Cleaner coffee, cleaner oceans

At La P’tite Cerise, we’re proud to support the FCCO – Fresh Coffee Clean Ocean initiative, led by our sourcing partner Belco.

The goal? To reduce the environmental footprint of coffee transport by choosing sailing cargo ships over conventional freight.

🚢 Why sail-powered transport?

• ✅ Up to 90% less CO₂ emissions compared to traditional cargo

• ✅ No heavy fuel oil = less marine pollution

• ✅ Ventilated, temperature-controlled holds = better bean preservation

• ✅ Shorter, more direct routes (around 20 days vs. 45)

🌿 Coffee with a conscience

By choosing FCCO-labelled lots, we offer you coffee that’s:

• 🌍 Responsible, from farm to cup

• 🌊 Ocean-friendly, protecting marine ecosystems

• ♻️ Aligned with our values of sustainability and transparency

Good coffee tastes even better when it travels clean.
