Villamaria Sugarcane Decaf (Colombia)
The Villamaria Sugarcane Decaf is our first venture into the world of high quality decaf coffee, and having visited the La Aurora buying station where it was purchased, the Jamaica drying station where it was dried, and Descafecol where it was decaffeinated, we knew the potential of this coffee before we even started roasting it.
La Aurora was a revelation for many producers in the Villamaria municipality. Producers who used to have to cultivate, process and dry their own coffees before selling parchment to the nearby trilladora, can now sell their cherry directly to La Aurora, where it is sorted before being transported to the lower elevation drying station of Jamaica, which sits at 1300 MASL. Thanks to this lower elevation, Jamaica has warmer temperatures which are much more conducive to managing honey and natural fermentations.
The sugarcane decaffeination process is one of the world’s only natural decaffeination processes. Descafecol, just a short drive from Villamaria, uses water from the nearby volcano Navado del Ruis, and natural ethyl acetate from fermented sugarcane sourced in the southern region of Palmira.
