Huila, Colombia | Medium Roast | Washed & EA Decaf (sugarcane)

Grown by smallholder farmers in Huila’s diverse microclimates, this coffee is washed and then decaffeinated at origin using ethyl acetate derived from sugarcane—a process that removes caffeine gently while preserving sweetness and aroma. Huila’s varied elevations and climate contribute to a complex flavor profile. The medium roast brings out sweet notes of banana, tart red currant and green apple skin, finishing with a smooth, silky body. Available in 4 oz, 12 oz and 3 lb whole-bean bags.

The resulting cup is naturally sweet and vibrant, ideal for decaf drinkers and fruit-forward coffee lovers.

Recommended Brew Methods

• Pour‑Over (V60, Chemex, Kalita): A medium‑fine grind and controlled pour highlight the banana and red‑currant notes.

• Drip Brewer: A medium grind and 1:15 brew ratio provide a balanced extraction, accentuating sweetness and body.

Community & Sustainability

Decaffeinating coffee at origin allows Colombian producers to capture more of the coffee’s value and reduces the environmental impact of shipping heavy green beans for processing. The ethyl acetate (sugarcane) method uses a naturally derived solvent, supporting Colombia’s sugarcane industry while avoiding harsher chemicals. Huila’s smallholder farmers, who farm on less than three hectares, benefit from the Origin Select program and fairer prices for quality decaf.
