The producer

This festive season, we’re bringing a little Colombian warmth to your cup with a naturally processed EA decaf from Villamaría, nestled high in the mountains of Caldas, central Colombia.

La Aurora, the purchasing point, and Jamaica, the processing station, are at the heart of a dedicated community of around 50 local farmers who bring their coffee cherries directly to Villamaría. This unusual approach in Colombia has helped expand local coffee production while elevating quality, uniting the community through a shared commitment to exceptional coffee.

Decaffeinated using ethyl acetate derived from locally harvested, naturally fermented sugarcane, this careful process helps preserve the coffee’s flavour while delivering a clean, full-bodied cup without the caffeine. The coffee was dried for 15 days in a temperature-controlled greenhouse before finishing in a mechanical dryer to ensure consistency.

Expect a sweet, creamy cup with crisp red apple, toffee and chocolate notes, a silky body and gentle acidity. A comforting companion for cosy winter evenings, festive gatherings and those quiet moments between Christmas celebrations.
