Colombie - Las Flores [Anaerobic Decaf]

About This Coffee

Forget about bland decafs: this Pink Bourbon from Colombia is funky and bold, with aromas of citrus and spices that shake up the codes. From the renowned Finca Las Flores, this decaffeinated Pink Bourbon perfectly illustrates the technical requirement and precision of the post-harvest work. After flotation in cold water, the cherries undergo 24 hours of anaerobic fermentation, followed by 12 hours of oxidation and then 36 hours of anaerobic fermentation after pulping. A thermal shock at 50 ° C is then applied for 15 minutes, stabilizing the sugars and reinforcing the clarity of the profile. Drying is controlled by mechanical dehumidifier over 36 hours, before careful decaffeination carried out by Descafecol, a Colombian organization specializing in decaffeination with natural ethyl acetate, derived from local sugar cane. In the cup, the result is surprising: an attack on citrus notes, followed by a spicy complexity evoking pink pepper and ginger. The texture is silky, the finish clean and persistent, all without caffeine!
