Cauca Decaf - Colombia

Regular price $ 19.00
Unit price

5.0 (3)

Tasting Notes: Ripe Fruit, Agave, Graham

Hands down the BEST decaf coffee we have ever tasted!  True specialty decaf coffee.

Sugarcane or ethyl acetate (EA) processing, also known as natural decaffeination, starts by fermenting sugar cane to create ethanol. This is then mixed with acetic acid, to create ethyl acetate.

In Colombia, where sugar cane is readily available, it makes great economic sense to use this plentiful resource to complement the coffee industry. EA is also found in wine, beer, fruit, vegetables, and other food and beverage. 

The green coffee is steamed to elevate the moisture content, which swells the bean to help facilitate the extraction of caffeine.  Then the beans are washed with EA, which dissolves the caffeine.

Sourced & Roasted With Intention

We individually profile and roast each coffee to their specific sweet-spot

Sourcing & Selection

Vesta direct sources 90% of our coffees directly from farmers and coops at origin. And uses trusted export partners for the remaining coffees.

All coffees are selected based on taste profiles. We believe that origin, processing and terroir all play a part to make each coffee unique.

Maintaining Relationships

You will notice that many of our coffees are available for multiple years. We are proud (and thankful) to be able to work with many of the same farmers year-after-year. Many times purchasing the farmers entire harvest. Helping the producer have some economic stability, and helping us with a consistent product year after year.

Easily, one of our favorite coffee roasters we have ever visited. Their beans are unparalleled to anything else we have ever tasted. Time and time again, their beans surpass some of our favorite roasters such as, Modern Times Coffee, Onyx, Mostra, Stumptown, Ritual, Brooklyn Roasting company, Intelligentsia and so many others.

I now understand why I've become a bit of the Coffee Snob (that's the current title were using in my house). Every month I get wonderful new coffee to try. I have been thrilled by all of them. Best thing about being a member of the Coffee Club Subscription is I don't have to decide what to pick because they all sound so good.
