El Vergel

Description

This exceptional decaf comes from the innovative Vergel Estate in Tolima, Colombia, where the Bayter family is redefining specialty coffee. Grown at 1,200–1,600 m, the Red and Yellow Caturra cherries undergo an anaerobic fermentation—sealed in oxygen-free tanks for 48–60 hours. This unique process encourages distinct fruit-forward flavors and a layered sweetness rarely found in decaf coffees.

After fermentation and careful drying, the beans are decaffeinated using the sugarcane ethyl acetate (EA) method, a natural process derived from local sugarcane. This gentle approach preserves over 99% of the coffee’s original flavor while removing caffeine, making it both delicious and sustainable.

The result is a bright, juicy, and complex cup with notes of tropical fruit, strawberry, honey, and cacao, all wrapped in a smooth, velvety body. Proof that decaf can be every bit as exciting as its caffeinated counterpart.

We serve whole bean coffee for maximum quality and freshness.

A vibrant decaf from Colombia’s Vergel Estate, crafted with anaerobic fermentation and sugarcane decaf for a sweet, complex cup with tropical fruit and cocoa notes—specialty flavor without the caffeine.
