Night Owl Decaf

These coffee cherries were picked by small farm holders spread across the land of Cauca, Colombia. After harvest, selected coffees are sorted to remove any unripe or hollow cherries. They are then transported to DESCAFECOL, where they are milled and put through a sugar cane decaffeination process.

A by-product of sugar cane fermentation is used as a caffeine solvent in this process. Green beans are steamed after harvest to open up their pores, soaked twice in this solution for up to 8 hours, then steamed again, polished and dried to be exported. This process sustains the fruity qualities of the coffee, allowing a better balance between caramel and fruit.
