Enjoy the rich flavors of this Decaffeinated Castillo, crafted with care through a natural process that preserves its true character. Starting with 95% mature cherries, the beans are washed with ozonated water and undergo anaerobic fermentation for 48 hours. After pulping, they undergo another 48-hour anaerobic treatment before being thoroughly washed with hot water and mechanically dried. The caffeine is then gently removed using natural Ethyl Acetate from sugar cane and high mountain spring water, ensuring no synthetic additives. The result is a decaf coffee that delivers full, satisfying flavour without compromise.

Roasting Recommendation

When roasting Decaffeinated Castillo, it's essential to approach it with a gentle touch to preserve its delicate flavors. Start with a lower charge temperature than you would for regular beans to prevent scorching. Monitor the roast closely, especially as you approach the first crack—decaf beans can develop more quickly due to their slightly altered structure. Aim for a slower, more controlled development phase to bring out the rich notes of stone fruit, malt, and caramel. This approach will help you achieve a balanced, full-bodied cup that highlights the coffee's natural sweetness without over-roasting.

Countries of operation Colombia

Established date 2019

Cat is a product and graphic designer and Pierre is a composer, guitarist and a singer who decided to swap careers to drink coffee all day long with a purpose.

After training and working for many years as a specialty coffee barista in the UK, we were inspired to move into the green coffee trade in the country we love and know best, Colombia.

We now apply our expertise to find the best beans at origin, whilst matching European quality standards and building long term relationships with local farmers.

After 5 years trading coffee worldwide Cat and Pierre became producers in their farm called Cata Reserva in Timana Huila. It is a 30 hectares farm which half of it is a natural reserve. As exporters with a vision on traceability saw the positive impact on the producers farm like Nestor Lasso, today they became producers to carry on exchanging knowledge now not only from a exporter perspective but through a producers view too. Cata's attention to detail on regenerating the land with clean agriculture protocols as well as connecting with a community will benefit both ends production and roasters trade.

The intelectual part of coffee is fun, we want to share what we know, we want to learn too, we want to connect better for a better trade sustainable for all.
