Colombie - Las Flores [Anaerobic Decaf]

About This Coffee

Forget the bland decaf: this Pink Bourbon from Colombia is funky and bold, with aromas of citrus and spice that challenge conventions. Coming 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 go through 24 hours of anaerobic fermentation, followed by 12 hours of oxidation and then 36 hours of anaerobic fermentation after depulping. A thermal shock at 50 °C is then applied for 15 minutes, stabilizing the sugars and reinforcing the clarity of the profile. The drying is controlled by a mechanical dehumidifier over 36 hours, before a careful decaffeination carried out by Descafecol, a Colombian organization specializing in decaffeination with natural ethyl acetate, derived from local sugar cane
