Tasting notes: Rustic sugars, smoked cocoa, woodsy hints
Country of origin: Columbia
Region: San Antonio, Inzá
Process:EA "Sugarcane" Decaf
Roast level: Full City+ (Medium-Dark)
About the region: This decaf was sourced from small producers near San Antonio town, in Colombia's Inzá Department. We chose the coffees specifically for decaffeination, based on the cup profiles having some mild fruit characteristics and pronounced acidity. It was perhaps the most competitive year for buying in Colombia that we've seen in over a decade, with the local price soaring to nearly double what it was last year. When the margin between base price and microlot price narrows to such a degree, farmers have less incentive to separate out their best coffee for a meager second payment. So this year we paid higher prices than ever in order to maintain those longstanding relationships and get the coffees we want - including those that went into this decaf. Farms are typically planted in Caturra and Variedad Colombia, grown at altitudes between 1700 and 2100 meters, and each contributing lot in this batch are wet process coffees.
