Additional
Deze decaf komt uit Pitalito in Huila Colombia, van kleine boeren met Caturra en Castillo. De cafeïne wordt op herkomst verwijderd met ethylacetaat uit suikerriet, zodat delicate smaken behouden blijven. De medium roast brengt aroma van zwarte thee en een romige body met butterscotch. Smaaktonen doen denken aan donkere chocolade, mandarijn, peer en pruim, helder en toch zacht. De koffie is volledig gewassen en duurzaam verwerkt, met lokaal suikerriet en efficiënte waterrecycling. Geschikt voor espresso en filter, ook als cold brew. Verkrijgbaar in 250 g, 500 g en 1 kg via de Shokunin webshop in Europa.
