About Santa Rosa de Cabal:

Santa Rosa de Cabal is a mountainous coffee region in Colombia, abundant with beautiful waterfalls and steamy natural thermal hot springs among a breathtaking cloud forest.

A slow pace is the only pace you’ll find here. With a view of epic, misty mountains, your body will sink into relaxation, even before soaking in the thermal hot springs.

About The Decaffeination Process:

This coffee went through a custom decaffeination process in Colombia that results in removal of almost all the caffeine, using a special and natural process.

The green coffee beans are soaked in a solvent with a derivative of fermented sugar to bond the coffee's chlorogenic salts that allows for the caffeine to be removed. Then, the coffee is extracted from the solution, and the solvent is removed by steaming the coffee at a low pressure. The finished product retains its flavor integrity but contains hardly any caffeine at all. The maximum amount of caffeine that remains after this process is between 0.01–0.03% caffeine.
