La Plata Decaf
Almond, Currant, Dark Chocolate
Paying close attention to all the coffees we buy means we have always treated our decaf purchases with the same care and rigour as all lots we buy. This year we have selected an entire lot to be decaffeinated in Colombia that creates a creamy, balanced espresso.

Roaster notes
This lot from La Plata in Colombia’s Huila region has been created by combining high quality outturns from 7 farmers in and around the small parish of San Sebastian. Producers such as Gina Samara Jalvin, Gloria Isabel Garcia, Ivonne Andrea Oviedo and Laura Ramirez are amongst the larger contributors. The coffee varieties being tended to are typical for the region, comprising Caturra, Castillo & Variedad Colombia. For the last eight years we’ve solely purchased decaffeinated coffees that have undergone the Sugar Cane Ethyl Acetate process. Not only does this method provide a secondary income to the producing country, but the green coffee only needs to be transported once rather than twice. Obviously more eco-friendly and less costly, it has a huge impact on cup quality.
