Colombia Tumbaga Decaf
Summary
Decaffeinated specialty coffee from Colombia, grown by farmers of the Sucafina cooperative in Cauca, Tolima, Antioquia and Eje Cafetero regions. Made from 100% Caturra variety and decaffeinated using the Sugarcane EA (ethyl acetate) process, which preserves the coffee's flavour potential. Light roasted for filter brewing. Cup profile is pleasantly sweet and well balanced with notes of apple, cinnamon and caramel, full body and low acidity.
