Specialty Coffee - Decaf

Specialty Decaf Coffee Beans

This El Eden is a blend from 16 entrepreneurial farmers. The name itself comes from the venue ‘Rancho Eden’ where the group would hold regular meetings to discuss best practices, business challenges and opportunities.

Coffee when harvested is brought to the Racafe mill in Armenia, where it is sampled, cupped, and graded. The overall blend profile is managed by a separate cupping room facility where consistency and quality are maintained.

Picking from their mainly Castillo and Catimor planted fields, the coffee is typically wet processed the same day as picking and dried on either ‘Casa Elba’ Patios, drying beds either on rails themselves or with a roof that is on rails to protect from weather, or mechanical driers.

Natural Decaffeination Process 

This coffee is first shipped to Vancouver for decaffeination through our friends at Swiss Water. Here the coffee is soaked in a proprietary Green Coffee Extract (GCE), that allows the caffeine to seep out without removing too much of the flavour. 

Zero Waste Specialty Coffee

These beans are roasted by our neighbours and are supplied in a closed-loop system which means the tubs in which it is supplied to us are collected and reused. And because it's so local we do this on a push bike.
