Los Nogales Caturra Mucilage EA Decaf Coffee - Fermented | Colombia | 8 oz

If you think decaf has to be mellow, this one might change your mind. Los Nogales Caturra is a bright, fruit-forward Colombian coffee with tasting notes of jackfruit, passionfruit, pineapple, and coconut. It's the kind of cup to reach for when you want something lively without a regular coffee's caffeine.

What is mucilage EA decaf?

This Caturra lot comes from Los Nogales in Pitalito, Huila, Colombia. Its processing includes a 24-hour anaerobic cherry fermentation, washing, and drying on raised beds. For decaffeination, the producer uses ethyl acetate derived from fermented coffee mucilage, also called mossto, rather than the more familiar sugarcane source. It's a specific processing method worth knowing if you're curious about how this coffee was made.

• Elevation: 1,870–2,000 meters
• Tasting notes: Jackfruit, passionfruit, pineapple, coconut
• Size: 8 oz

A heads-up: The beans can look unusually dark on the outside because of the processing and decaffeination, even though the roast is light. Choose whole bean if you grind at home, or pick the grind that suits your brewer. Decaf still contains some caffeine.
