Friedhats roastery offers coffee that may be caffeine-free, but that doesn't mean it's missing anything! This coffee is like a floral breeze that envelops you with delicate, fragrant notes of lavender and herbal freshness. Expect fresh and unique flavors – a hint of lemon thyme, notes of stone fruit, and a delicate, refreshing taste reminiscent of cactus juice. All this combines to create an amazing experience that is far more than just ordinary decaf coffee.
This coffee comes from the Granja Paraíso 92 farm in the Piendamó region of Colombia's Cauca Valley. It is grown at an altitude of 1,900 meters above sea level, where the climatic conditions and rich volcanic soil provide the ideal environment for growing the Red Bourbon variety. Wilton Benitez, the producer of this coffee, is known for his experimentation and innovative approach. Thanks to his unique decaffeination method, known as terminally shocked decaffeination (EAD), the coffee retains its complex flavor while removing the caffeine. Although the decaffeination process usually impoverishes the coffee of some of its flavors, Wilton's method ensures that each bean retains not only its rich profile but also its unique character.
The method used, called thermal shock decaffeination, is specially designed to remove caffeine without losing flavor. The result is a coffee that is not only caffeine-free, but also retains its distinctive and lively flavor. It will delight you with its floral notes and refreshing, tropical character. Granja Paraíso 92 is truly a place where innovation and a traditional approach to coffee cultivation come together.
