While we think this decaf is best prepared as a drip coffee, it will work in numerous settings like French Press or AeroPress. Decaf espresso anyone?

For our decaf coffees, we go the distance to ensure the same transparency and direct relationships we value in our regular coffees; and this is no easy feat as most decafs are sold as regional (or even countrywide) blends with little to no traceability. Valle del Cauca is a major coffee producing region near the west coast of the country. This coffee is a product of dozens of producers who pool their harvest. The coffee is fully washed then goes through a decaffeination process using sugar cane. Unlike some associations, payments are made directly to the producers and not through a legal entity by which they're represented. This allows for maximum transparency to ensure producers are paid what they deserve.
