Colombia Condor Decaf Capsules

Region & farm

Region

Tolima, Central-West Colombia. Nestled in the Cordillera Central with nutrient-rich soils and diverse microclimates. Farmers here have shifted from large-yield commodity crops to specialty microlots, focusing on quality and care, making Tolima one of Colombia's most exciting coffee regions.

Farm

El Vergel Estate is a renowned Colombian coffee farm in Tolima, led by the innovative Martha Montenegro, Elias Bayter & Shady Bayter. The El Vergel farm originally cultivated avocados in the 90s, but pivoted to coffee around 2010, focusing on high-quality, diverse varietals. The farm is also known for pioneering experimental processing like Koji and anaerobic fermentation.

Processing

This coffee is processed naturally along with the sugarcane process. The beans undergo anaerobic fermentation for 48-60 hours. Then get dried on raised beds until reaching 30% moisture. After that, beans get transferred to mechanical driers to finish the drying process. Lastly, the beans get closed in grainpro bags for stabilisation for the next 45 days. For the decafination process, beans are steamed to swell and ease caffeine extraction. Once done, they are gently washed with sugarcane-derived extractors, rinsed with water, steam, and dried back to their original moisture. This careful method preserves the bean's structure and flavor integrity.

The Taste Idea

"Colombia Condor represents a fundamental step for us within our decaf offering. The dry processing and sugarcane method allow us to present a pure flavor reminiscent of cocoa, orange juice, passion fruit, spices, and dried apricots. Our main idea was to introduce the cleanest possible decaffeinated coffee."

Jan Jim Huza - Head Roaster.
