El Buho is sourced from exceptional coffee farms in the Huila and Tolima regions of Colombia. These farms are known for their fertile soils and high-altitude conditions, producing coffees with clarity, sweetness, and balance. While this decaf is carefully selected for consistency across lots, the farms maintain a strong focus on sustainable cultivation and quality practices.
THE COFFEE
El Buho is a naturally decaffeinated Colombian coffee that preserves the structure and flavor of the original lot. Roasted to a medium-light profile, it delivers a smooth cup with delicate notes of toasted nuts, golden syrup, and a refreshing hint of lemonade. This coffee is versatile, suitable for filter or espresso preparation, and offers a clean, satisfying decaf experience.
THE REGION - HUILA & TOLIMA
Huila and Tolima are iconic coffee-producing regions in Colombia. Their high-altitude terrain, fertile volcanic soils, and consistent rainfall create ideal conditions for growing arabica coffee. Coffees from these regions are known for clarity, sweetness, and balanced profiles, making them a benchmark for Colombian specialty coffees.
THE PROCESS
El Buho is decaffeinated using the Ethyl Acetate (EA) method, a natural process also known as sugarcane decaffeination. Beans are first steamed to open their pores and then rinsed with Ethyl Acetate, a naturally occurring compound found in coffee cherries and various fruits and vegetables. The EA used in this process is derived from sugarcane, making it a sustainable and chemical-free approach. After caffeine extraction, the beans are dried to 10-12 percent moisture and sealed with natural wax to preserve flavor and aroma without affecting taste. This gentle process maintains the coffee’s structure and distinctive characteristics, producing a smooth, clean cup without excessive heat or pressure.
IN THE CUP
A smooth and balanced decaf with notes of toasted nuts, golden syrup, and a light hint of lemonade. The cup has a clean structure and gentle sweetness, delivering a satisfying and characterful decaf coffee experience.
