The decaffeination process for this bean is unique. The caffeine is extracted from the bean using sugar cane and water. This technique was developed in Colombia. This enhances sweetness while maintaining the attributes of the coffee.
The coffee is brought together in dry parchment and milled in Popoyan before being taken to Caldas to have the caffeine removed.
The Cauca region is located in the Colombian massif. Popayán is the capital of Cauca and the Popayán plateau sits at 1700masl.
