[DECAF] CHÉVERE - COLUMBIA

Not your regular Decaf: Chévere is a decaffeinated coffee that doesn't have to hide and shows you how good Decaf can taste. Thanks to the gentle and natural so-called sugar cane decaffeination process, the coffee retains many of its aromas. In this process, the processed coffee beans are first steamed with water to open the pores. Then the solvent ethyl acetate is used - a substance obtained from abundant sugar cane. The beans are bathed in this solvent mixed with water until the caffeine has been dissolved out. The natural flavour aromas of the coffee are thus almost completely preserved. This is how we come to enjoy this special decaf with exciting notes of chocolate and dried fig.

The ASCAFE Association represents almost 4000 coffee farmers in the south of Colombia. In addition to representing the economic interests of the farmers, one of the Association's main focuses is to pass on agro-economic knowledge and experience to the farmers in order to increase both the profitability and the quality of their harvests. In the medium term, ASCAFE wants to help the farmers it represents to make the transition to sustainable agriculture. ASCAFE also strives to be part of the social change that is happening around coffee production. The association supports numerous social projects, among others to promote women in coffee farming, to protect the coffee cultivation of indigenous groups, but also to offer former FARC guerrillas a path to a peaceful life.
