Melao – Decaf

Over the past few years, many coffee producers in Huila have planted Pink Bourbon over the past 10 years, as it consistently produces high-quality cups regardless of the processing method (washed, honey, or natural). It has adapted well to climatic changes and has not been significantly affected by pests and diseases such as leaf rust, maintaining a good production yield.

The coffee has been processed using the sugarcane decaf method, where the caffeine is naturally removed with sugarcane-based ethyl acetate. The process takes place in Colombia, close to the coffee’s origin, and preserves the aromas and flavour profile exceptionally well. The result is a decaffeinated coffee that tastes like real coffee – smooth, sweet, and balanced.
