This Caturra decaf from Los Nogales is a rare mucilage EA lot, processed with a natural solvent derived from fermented coffee mucilage rather than standard sugarcane ethyl acetate. We chose it because it keeps the clarity, sweetness, and structure of a high-end washed Colombian, while drinking far beyond what most decaf allows.

Fully ripe cherries are fermented for 24 hours, washed, sun-dried, hulled, then decaffeinated through repeated warm-water immersion and a 24-hour contact with the coffee-derived must. The result is a cup that stays bright and articulate rather than flattened by the process.

Expect agave sweetness, panela, and lemonade-like acidity, with a clear herbal lift running through the cup. A soft biscuit-like finish and a light strawberry note give it extra charm, whether brewed as filter or a modern espresso.

Flavour Profile

The shape of the cup, before the flavour notes.

These six scales describe how this coffee presents in the cup — its structure, not its quality. Each position is descriptive, not a score.

Filter and espresso are profiled separately. The profile reflects how the coffee is intended to be brewed.

Read the full Flavour Profile guide

Perceived sweetness — not sugar. Restrained cups read clean and structured; pronounced cups taste riper and more generous.

Brightness and lift — not sourness. Soft acidity feels gentle and rounded; vibrant acidity has the sparkle of citrus or fresh fruit.

Texture and weight in the mouth — not strength. Tea-like coffees feel light, clean and refined; syrupy coffees feel denser, creamier and more coating.

How strongly the process shapes the taste. Traditional lets the origin speak plainly; expressive adds ferment-led character you can taste in the cup.

How long the flavour stays after the sip. Short finishes end cleanly and reset the palate; long finishes keep evolving after you swallow.

The intensity of the fragrance. Delicate aromatics sit quietly in the cup; strong aromatics reach you before the first sip.
