Notes Strawberry, Caramel, Milk Chocolate Origin Tolima, Colombia Farm El Vergel Estate Elevation 1450 MASL Varieties Red and Yellow Caturra Process Sugar Cane Decaffeination El Vergel farm is located in Tolima, Colombia near the town of Fresno and was established by the Bayter family in 1995, with avocados as their main crop. In 2006 they decided to diversify into coffee cultivation and in the years since have developed the estate into an innovative specialty coffee operation. Currently operated by brother Elias and Shady Bayter and their mother Martha Montenegro, El Vergel grows a wide array of varieties and embraces new post-harvest processing techniques. This lot of red and yellow caturra was decaffeinated with the sugar cane method at Descafecol in Caldas, Colombia - more on that below - and yields a vibrant, sweet coffee with a silky body and notes of red berries and chocolate. Descafecol is the only decaffeination plant in the Andean region
