About Regional Decaf

Our Project Origin specialty decaf is all about raising the bar on how decaffeinated
coffee should taste. We do not compromise on flavour with this offering and are
selective about the coffees we source through the Huila, Cauca and Nariño regions
that cup from 84 to 85 points. The selected coffee is then sent to have 99.9% of the
caffeine removed using fresh spring water and Ethyl Acetate - a completely natural
by-product of sugar cane. This method is gentle, chemical free and retains coffee
structure as well as flavour. The result is a decaf coffee that tastes just as good as
the original lot where these coffee beans were grown.

Colombia is the second largest producer of arabica coffee in the world and benefits
from its tropical location, mountainous terrain and high average rainfall. Coffee
production is abundant with two harvests per year and is of excellent quality,
particularly in the coffee growing regions that we use to source this offering, where
altitudes range from 1300 - 1800 metres above sea level and temperatures are a
mild 15 - 25º Celsius.
