Decaf Colombia Excelso

Our first decaf coffee.

We wanted a decaf you'd choose for its flavour and not simply because it contains less caffeine. That's why Mihai Panfil curated this lot from Huila, one of Colombia's best-known coffee-growing regions.

The coffee is naturally decaffeinated using the Sugar Cane process, where an alcohol derived from fermented sugar cane gently removes caffeine while preserving the coffee's natural flavour profile.

Sweet. Clean. Balanced.

Expect notes of chocolate, forest fruits and hazelnuts, supported by low acidity, a medium body and a smooth finish.

BARISTA TIP

Grind the beans no sooner than just before brewing your coffee. For espresso, a fine grinding is perfect, while filter methods require a medium grinding. 

Espresso:

• Use 1 part coffee for 2 parts water.
• Brewzeus’ recipe: 18g coffee with 36ml water and an extraction time of aprox. 25 sec (give or take 3 sec).

Filter:

• Use 10g coffee with 160ml water. No scale, no problem – if using a large cup, measure 4 teaspoons of coffee; for a medium cup, 3 teaspoons will do just fine.
• Heat the water up to 90°C. Or simply bring the water to boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool down for a couple of minutes before pouring it over.
• Ideally, the coffee should stay in contact with the water for 2 to 4 min, depending on the filter method.
