So when another lot from the same producers became available, we couldn’t pass it up. The key difference: this one is decaffeinated using the Sugarcane (EA) method instead of Swiss Water®.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Huila, Colombia, comes this extraordinary single-origin and single-varietal decaf coffee that showcases the craft of producers Adrian Lasso and Jhoan Vergara at Beneficio Peñas Blancas. The cherries undergo a carefully controlled washed anaerobic fermentation lasting around 60 hours. After fermentation, the coffee is rapidly quenched with alternating hot and cold water, a technique that helps fixate the aromatic compounds developed during fermentation. The coffee is then precision-dried under carefully controlled conditions before decaffeination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe caffeine is gently removed using the Sugarcane (EA) process, a natural solvent method derived from sugarcane that preserves the coffee’s vibrant character and delicate aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a unique decaf coffee that tastes alive, bursting with notes of pink grapefruit, orange sherbet, strawberry, and guava. Sweet, silky, and layered, it carries a tropical sparkle and an elegant finish that lingers long after the cup is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Huila, Colombia (1700-1900 masl)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jhoan Vergara and Adrian Lasso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing Site:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBeneficio Peñas Blancas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pink Bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Washed Anaerobic \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThermal Shock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecaffeination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sugarcane EA\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoast Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavor Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePink Grapefruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrange Sherbet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrawberry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuava\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWild and fun taste, unique profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermal shock processing captures fruit-forward brightness and balanced sweetness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA vibrant, tropical expression of Colombian Pink Bourbon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Brew\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrind fresh just before brewing. This coffee shines in pour-over (V60) or immersion methods like the French Press or AeroPress. Use slightly hotter water, around 96 °C \/ 205 °F, to draw out its citrus and guava sweetness. Adjust extraction to taste: a longer brew highlights berry jam, while a faster draw reveals brighter citrus and tropical notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor more on how decaf behaves during brewing, read our guide: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/frequentcoffee.com\/blogs\/journal\/why-decaf-coffee-often-brews-more-slowly\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWhy Decaf Coffee Brews Differently\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sugarcane (EA) process removes caffeine using high mountain spring water and naturally derived ethyl acetate sourced from sugarcane. Because EA naturally occurs in coffee and fruit, the process avoids synthetic chemicals and harsh conditions. The gentle water-EA extraction preserves the bean’s structure and flavor, allowing the coffee’s tropical and citrus notes to remain vibrant in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Due to decaffeination, this coffee may appear darker on the exterior even when roasted lightly.
