INTRO
This lot from Colombian farm El Diviso debunks all myths about decaffeinated coffees. If you're looking for playfulness and unexpected complexity in your cup, this coffee will delight you with its pleasant higher acidity and unusual combination of flavours—reminiscent of raspberry PEZ candies and the sweetness of gummy bears, complemented by a fresh hint of tropical fruit. The whole experience is rounded off by a delicate and creamy aftertaste of milk chocolate. A coffee with clear character and high purity.
THE PRODUCER
Behind this success is visionary farmer Nestor Lasso, who is constantly pushing the boundaries of coffee processing on his farm in the renowned Huila region. The rare Pink Bourbon variety ripens here at an altitude of 1,750–1,850 metres above sea level, which gives the beans their typical density and flavour intensity. Nestor's precise approach to cultivation focuses on the microclimate of the mountain and the specific needs of this pinkish coffee variety.
THE PROCESS
The processing combines modern anaerobic fermentation with the classic washed method—a very unique process for decaffeinated coffees:
- 🍒 Selective Harvesting — Peak ripeness cherries
- 🫙 Anaerobic Fermentation — Sealed tanks without oxygen
- 🚿 Washed — Clean water rinse
- ☀️ Dried — Until optimal moisture content
- 💧 Decaffeination — Caffeine removed whilst preserving flavour
The anaerobic phase in closed tanks helps develop intense fruity notes, whilst washing ensures the resulting elegance and sparkle in the cup. The coffee has been roasted specifically for filter preparation so that even without caffeine, it offers a full-bodied and rich flavour profile.
THE CUP
Sweet, clean, and very drinkable with a light body and long, harmonious aftertaste. Proof that precise farming techniques can create a masterpiece in any category.

What is the roast recency?
We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 6-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12 - should we have any left in stock!). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
