About this coffee<\/h3>\n

This coffee comes from two cooperatives representing over 240 indigenous families<\/strong> from the NASA WE’SX<\/strong> community in Planadas and Gaitania. Each producer cultivates 2 to 4 hectares of high-altitude land rich in biodiversity \u2014 with over 6000 trees per hectare<\/strong> in some cases.<\/p>\n

The lot was decaffeinated at Decaf Manizales<\/strong>, in Colombia, using the Sugar Cane Process<\/strong>, a natural method that employs ethyl acetate derived from sugarcane. This gentle, chemical-free process preserves the coffee\u2019s complexity while eliminating caffeine.<\/p>\n

The project is also deeply community-driven<\/strong>. The ASCISP<\/strong> association, founded in 2014, empowers small producers through collective action rooted in ancestral respect for the land. In Tolima \u2014 a region once ravaged by conflict \u2014 coffee has become a powerful tool for healing and peacebuilding.<\/p>\n

In the cup, this natural decaf<\/strong> 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<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A decaf with soul and substance \u2014 proof that caffeine isn\u2019t everything.<\/strong><\/p>\n
