Most decaf coffees aren’t selected for quality. They’re chosen because they didn’t make the cut. This one is different. It comes from a group of 65 farming families in Suaza, Huila, who grow everything from Castillo to Gesha, and whose small lots are blended under the Divino Niño name.
These are small-scale producers, many organic or transitioning to organic, farming between 1300 and 1950 meters above sea level. Every delivery to the local collection point in Garzón is cupped for quality, and standouts are rewarded with a premium above the group’s already solid base price.
The coffee was sent for decaffeination using the ethyl acetate method, sometimes called the sugarcane process because the solvent is derived from sugarcane grown in Colombia. It’s a gentler approach than most chemical methods, designed to preserve sweetness, structure, and the integrity of the cup.
The result is a decaf that doesn’t feel like a compromise.
