San Agustin - Decaf

What we taste: dark cherry, peanut m&m, juicy citrus San Agustin in the state of Huila, Colombia is home to a UNESCO world heritage site because of the largest ancient religious sculptures in South America. It’s also home to many of the top rated coffees in Colombia. Because the local exporter, CONDOR, understands higher quality coffee equals higher prices, they push for excellence and reinvest profits into the community. For example, land purchased by CONDOR was used to build a daycare facility for the families who operate the farms in the region. The process of decaffeinating coffee begins with locally harvested sugar cane, which is turned into molasses and is allowed to ferment, ultimately yielding the organic compound ethyl acetate. This compound bonds with the caffeine molecule and removes it from the coffee entirely while imparting a note of fruitiness. Be free of both buzz and worry as you enjoy notes of dark cherry and peanut m&m in your late afternoon cup. Producer: Sm
