Abstract

Hover over each feature to learn more.

Rest easy with this washed decaffeinated coffee from Cauca, Inzá. We’ve intentionally sourced this coffee for the purpose of decaffeination, selecting this regional lot from San Antonio for it’s structured sweetness of red apple and raw sugar, with a balanced acidity reminiscent of pear.

Origin

Colombia

Colombia uniquely offers a diverse array of coffee varieties and processing methods. Known for innovation and resilience, Colombia's coffee history dates back to the early 19th century, with smallholder farmers being key contributors. Despite challenges like weather and conflict, Colombia consistently produces high-quality specialty coffee. For over a decade years, we've partnered with both large and small-scale producers from all five main growing zones, fostering close relationships and friendships.

Elevation

1700 MASL

Elevation influences coffee cultivation, impacting flavor and quality. Higher elevations offer cooler temperatures, slowing the growth of coffee cherries, allowing more time for complex sugar and flavor development. This results in coffee with brighter acidity and a nuanced flavor profile. Additionally, cooler conditions at high altitudes reduce pests and diseases, making these coffees highly prized for their superior quality and distinct taste.

Variety

Bourbon

Bourbon (pronounced Bor-Bone) originally hails from the island known as La Réunion. It spread to Brazil and onwards, and now is grown worldwide. It is slowly being replaced by more 'modern' varieties with better yield and disease resistance, but we love that classic, juicy Bourbon profile when we come across it.

Caturra

Caturra is a natural mutation that occurred of Bourbon. Since its discovery in Brazil, it has spread throughout Latin America and is now the benchmark of specialty coffee. It would be an easy case to make to say that Caturra is the workhorse of coffee varieties. But then, you'd have to call a workhorse delicious, and that would be pretty weird.

Harvest

Colombia

Colombia has a unique harvest schedule, thanks to the varied topography and proximity to the equator. Between those two variables, Colombia harvests nearly year round across the five main coffee growing regions. Each region has fairly reliable harvest times that conveniently stagger, providing fresh crop coffee all year round.

Process

Drying

Roasting

Loring S70 Peregrine

Prior to production, each roast goes through a rigorous dial-in process, where we fine-tune our temperature curves. We roast to tight tolerances, with no more than 1° deviation from target temperatures, ensuring quality and consistency in each batch.

Agtron

#72 Moderate

Referring to medium as moderate is an intentional choice to highlight the roasting process, which is also referred to as development. Coffees within the moderate range exhibit notes in line with terroir, with a hint of sugar-browning. These characteristics are backed by a medium to high perceived acidity with a balanced tactile and sweetness, and they adapt easily from espresso to filter preparation.

Inventory

Evergreen

Day after day, producers, roasters, and cuppers alike all spend countless hours of work to produce and roast small, traceable lots that we within specialty coffee call microlots. Ranging anywhere from a few lbs to many pallets, this nebulous category refers to a traceable single-origin, producer or even specific picking date. Is all that hard work keeping things separate worth it? That is up for you to decide...

Extraction

Filter, Espresso

Our Education Team, guided by a commitment to quality, uses a blend of sensory skills and technology to brew the best coffee in our cafes and brew guides. We strive for vibrant and mouthwatering acidity, complex and approachable flavor, persistent and clear sweetness, and structured and pleasant mouthfeel, ensuring you're getting the best coffee experience.

T h e S t o r y

There are a few signals that the season is changing here at the roastery in Arkansas. First, the leaves begin to change, and a slight chill in the air will creep in each morning. Just as significant, if you’re a roaster or green buyer, is the arrival of micro-lots from...
