Colombia - ASMUCAFE - Women Cooperative - Washed

An organic washed Colombian coffee from ANEI producers in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and Serrania del Perija.

This coffee is grown in the Huila region which is located in southwestern Colombia, nestled in-between the Central and Eastern ranges of the Andes. The variation in elevation results in Huila being one of the country's most unique and complex regions of coffee production. Its terroir, climate, and harvest cycles all contribute to the quality of coffee produced here. This coffee is washed and then subsequently decaffeinated. At present, there is no such thing as a genetically decaffeinated coffee, which means that decaf coffee needs to be created by physically removing the caffeine from green coffee beans. Most of today’s decaf processing methods are sophisticated and thorough and can remove 99 percent of the caffeine naturally present in coffee. Coffees of any process (washed, natural, honey, etc) can also be processed for decaffeination. The decaffeination itself takes place after the coffee has been harvested, processed, and had its parchment layer removed. Most of the time, coffees need to be sent to specific facilities to be decaffeinated, rather than having the caffeine removed at the mill level. There are a variety of decaffeination methods, this coffee is processed using Ethyl Acetate. This naturally occurring ester (present in bananas as well as a by-product of fermented sugars) can be isolated and used as a solvent to bond with and remove caffeine from green coffee. First, the coffee is sorted and steamed for 30 minutes under low pressure in order to open the coffee seeds’ pores and prepare them for decaffeination. The coffee is placed in a solution of both water and ethyl acetate, where the EA will begin to bond with the salts of chlorogenic acids inside the seeds. The tank will be drained and re-filled over the course of eight hours until the caffeine is no longer detected. The seeds are steamed once more to remove the ethyl acetate traces. The coffee is then dried and polished for export. Details Free UK Tracked 48 delivery on orders over £30. Please see our FAQs for more information.

Did you know that only one in 10 young people can name a female CEO? The City Collective was created by Glasgow City FC to amplify the voices of those blazing their own trail. Dear Green's core ethos has always been to break barriers, lift each other up, and foster true equity. We were delighted to be a founding member of The City Collective. We recently hosted some of the Glasgow City FC team at the roastery to collaborate on a coffee; we proposed coffees from women producers. You can read more about it on the blog. The team chose this great coffee from the KCRS women's cooperative in Kinini, Northern Province, Rwanda. Not only will this collaboration shine a spotlight on women producers and the great coffee they produce, but through selling and sipping their product, we will also be supporting the Glasgow City FC Foundation: £1 from every single bag sold will go directly to the Glasgow City FC Foundation, helping to fund grassroots initiatives, promote inclusion, and inspire the next generation of girls in sport. Whether you're a die-hard football fan, a specialty coffee lover, or just want to support a great local cause, grab a bag, brew a cup, and let’s fuel change together.

Zesty, complex, and bursting with character! This exceptional Kenyan coffee opens with vibrant notes of zesty lemon curd and dark blackcurrant jam, balanced by an aromatic oolong tea finish. Situated near Karatina in Nyeri County, Tegu, meaning “low place”, sits in the cool mountain foothills between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range. Operated by the Tekangu Farmers’ Cooperative Society, established in 1969, the factory serves around 1,200 smallholder family farmers who hand-pick ripe cherries across tiny, high-altitude plots. After a double fermentation and a 24-hour soak in fresh water, the coffee is slowly dried on raised beds. A traditional Kenyan process that creates remarkable clarity, vibrant acidity, and an unforgettable cup profile. Read more about this coffee and our suggested recipe on the blog.
