Las Flores - Colombia, Tanat | 200g

A bold specialty decaffeinated, with a funky and unusual profile, designed to surprise and shake up the codes.

From the renowned Finca Las Flores, this decaffeinated Pink Bourbon perfectly illustrates the technical requirements and precision of post-harvest work.

After a flotation in cold water, the cherries go through 24 hours of anaerobic fermentation, followed by 12 hours of oxidation and 36 hours of anaerobic fermentation after stripping. A thermal shock at 50 °C is then applied for 15 minutes, stabilising the sugars and strengthening the clarity of the profile. Drying is controlled by a mechanical dehumidifier over 36 hours, before careful decaffeination carried out by Descafecol, a Colombian organisation specialising in decaffeination with natural ethyl acetate, from local sugar cane.

In a cup, the result is surprising: an attack on citrus notes, followed by a spicy complexity evoking pink pepper and ginger. The texture is silky, the finish clean and persistent, all caffeine-free!
