COLOMBIA

Variety: Castillo, Caturra, Colombia | Process: Washed, non-chemically decaffeinated | Altitude: 1200 - 2000 MASL | Harvest: current crop | Producer: Smallholder farmers, La Plata, Huila

La Plata is sweet and full-bodied, with notes of milk chocolate and malt. Suitable for espresso and filter.

It is decaffeinated at origin using a non-chemical process. First the green coffee is soaked in baths of water with a natural solvent derived from sugar cane to remove the caffeine. Then the beans are steamed at low pressure to remove all traces of the solvent while preserving flavour.
