Harvested at the end of the regional crop for a fresh, clean, complex, and exceptionally well-balanced cup. In the cup: chocolate, sugar cane, and dry fruits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lot comes from Chinchiná in Caldas, Colombia, at 1,400–1,700 masl. After an extensive R\u0026amp;D process aimed at eliminating residual flavours and improving the physical appearance of the bean, Three Marks developed it using a specific milling protocol designed for decaffeination. The careful selection of the raw material was the cornerstone of the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe decaffeination uses high-mountain spring water and ethyl acetate extracted from sugar cane molasses, a selective solvent for caffeine that occurs naturally in fruits such as bananas. It has two drawbacks: it is highly flammable and has a naturally sweet, characteristic aroma, so handling requires great care, which raises production costs and can sometimes leave a slightly different aroma and a subtle alteration in flavour. The method guarantees a minimum of 97% caffeine removal and a maximum residual solvent content of 20 ppm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe selective sugar cane ethyl acetate method, paired with a milling protocol built for decaf, is the defining combination. It preserves a clean, balanced cup with chocolate and sugar cane sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClean and balanced: chocolate leads, with a sugar cane sweetness and a dry fruit depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🍫 Chocolate 🎋 Sugar Cane 🍇 Dry Fruits\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Three Marks Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Decaf \/ 250g \/ October 5th","offer_id":59017114943862,"sku":"THREEMARKS-DECAF-CASTILLO-CASTILLO-OTHER-250G-OCT05","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/FrontalView_f48a9e67-ccce-4846-8786-853b910ca5c4.png-cropped.png?v=1792160668","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/de\/products\/three-marks-coffee-decaf-castillo-colombia","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
