Sourcing Story

49th Parallel Crop To Cup Story

This new instant coffee is made with our single origin decaf coffee decaffeinated at the Descafecol plant in Manizales, Colombia, through a special process using water and ethyl acetate from local sugar cane. Ethyl acetate's low boiling point enables gentle caffeine extraction and avoids excessive heat and pressure so the natural structure of the green coffee bean cells is retained. The result is an exceptionally complex decaf coffee.

Sourced from smallholder groups across the Colombian regions of Huila, Quindio, and Narino, Latitude Decaf represents a collaborative effort by 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters to highlight quality in decaffeinated offerings. This lot features the Caturra varietal, a plant known for its adaptability and consistent cup profile. To remove caffeine while preserving the integrity of the bean, the coffee undergoes a water and ethyl acetate process, a method often favored for its ability to maintain the inherent characteristics of the origin. You can learn more about how these processing methods impact the final cup through our technical guides.

When evaluating the profile of this coffee, which features notes of almond, golden raisin, and pineapple, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize these specific sensory experiences. By focusing on high-quality raw material, this decaf provides a balanced experience that mirrors the complexity typically found in caffeinated counterparts.
