The town of San Antonio's rich, volcanic soil is ideal for agriculture and contributes to the excellent cup quality of coffees grown and processed here. Farms in the area average just one hectare and grow a mixture of Caturra, Castillo and Colombia trees. Cool overnight temperatures result in dense beans, which are notable for their sweetness and complexity. 

EA Decaffeination

This coffee has had more than 99% of its caffeine removed using the Ethyl Acetate (EA) Process. Ethyl Acetate is a natural product derived from fermented fruit and sugarcane, and it is used to bond with and remove the coffee beans' caffeine, while leaving the flavour and sweetness intact.

Whole beans or pre-ground?

Coffee deteriorates much faster once it is ground, making whole beans the ideal way to purchase coffee. If you don't have a grinder though, all good!

Whole Beans - not ground, you have your own grinder
Commercial Espresso - very fine for a commercial espresso machine
Home Espresso - quite fine for a domestic espresso machine
