Colombia Yellow Sunset Decaf | Passion Fruit Co-Ferment | Sugar Cane EA

San Agustín: Where Heritage Meets Innovation

Experience the absolute innovation of our Decaf Yellow Sunset, a truly exceptional coffee born high in the mountains of southern Huila, Colombia. Grown at 1750 MASL within the vibrant coffee community of San Agustín—a UNESCO World Heritage site—this coffee is a collaboration of dedicated local farmers. By leveraging innovative processing techniques, these producers have elevated local varieties like Caturra and Pink Bourbon into a decaf experience that defies tradition.

The Innovation: 120-Hour Passion Fruit Co-Fermentation

This unique decaf begins its journey with an innovative fermentation protocol designed to lock in "high-definition" fruit notes before the caffeine is even removed:

• Passion Fruit Inoculation: The cherries undergo a 120-hour anaerobic fermentation in-cherry. What makes it truly special is the addition of dehydrated passion fruit pulp during this stage, infusing the beans with rich, tropical esters at a molecular level.
• Precision Drying: Following fermentation, the beans are meticulously dried in mechanical silos for 144 hours to achieve optimal moisture stability.
• Stabilisation: A crucial 30-day rest in GrainPro bags ensures the distinctive flavour profile is fully preserved and consistent across every batch.

The Process: Natural Sugar Cane (EA) Decaffeination

To maintain the integrity of the co-fermented fruit notes, this coffee undergoes the Sugar Cane Ethyl Acetate (EA) process. This natural method uses a solvent derived from fermented sugar cane to gently remove 99.9% of the caffeine. Unlike chemical decaffeination, the EA process is famous for preserving—and even enhancing—the sweetness and complexity of the original bean.

Tasting Profile: Dark Chocolate, Tangerine & Spices

Decaf Yellow Sunset offers an extraordinary flavour profile that simply doesn't taste like a traditional decaf. It is a favourite for those who want a complex, "all-day" coffee without the caffeine kick:

• Palate: Vibrant Passion Fruit and bright Tangerine acidity.
• Core: Deep Dark Chocolate and a hint of warm Cinnamon.
• Body: A Creamy Body with a polished mouthfeel.
• Finish: A sophisticated touch of Savoury Spices and citric lift.

Brew Guide: Unlocking the Sunset Profile

Roasted as an Omni-Roast, this specialty decaf coffee performs brilliantly as both a complex filter and a syrupy, spice-driven espresso:

Espresso (Recommended)

• Dose: 22.5g
• Yield: 45ml (1:2 ratio)
• Time: 28 seconds

Roaster’s Tip: The Sugar Cane process adds a lovely sweetness to the crema. In a milk-based drink, look for notes reminiscent of a spiced chocolate orange.

Filter (V60 / Batch Brew)

• Dose: 15g
• Yield: 250ml
• Time: 3:00 minutes

Roaster’s Tip: Use a slightly lower water temperature (90°C–92°C) to allow the delicate passion fruit and tangerine notes to shine without being overshadowed by the chocolate base.
