People. Planet. Processing.

This particular lot is the work of a number of smallholder growers from the area of La Plata within the department of Huila. As part of a program initiated by Cafe Imports the next step in decaffeinating is breaking from industry norms (and unnecessary food-miles) with decaf processing occurring in-country before export. Using local natural sugar cane to create Ethyl Acetate, the coffee is soaked in a E.A solution to remove caffeine. This specialist process is done at origin in Colombia, making this the most sustainable option in terms of transport food-miles.As with all the specialty coffees we source, the cherry is picked and meticulously sorted before depulping and undergoing a classic washed process.
