This exceptional coffee comes from Granja Paraíso 92, the innovative farm of Wilton Benitez in Piendamó, Cauca, Colombia, located at an elevation of 1900 MASL. Renowned for his groundbreaking processing methods, Wilton combines his background in chemical engineering with decades of coffee-growing expertise to create some of the most unique and memorable coffees in the world.
This lot, featuring the Red Bourbon variety, undergoes a meticulous sugarcane decaffeination process, which naturally removes caffeine while preserving the coffee’s vibrant flavors. The cherries are carefully fermented in an anaerobic environment for 48 hours, enhancing their fruity and citric notes. They are then dried for another 48 hours at 38°C, locking in their unique profile.
In the cup, expect a clean, silky body with rich, sugary sweetness and complex flavors, including notes of red fruits, gentle citrus, and caramel-like depth. This decaf coffee is a perfect example of how innovation and precision can transform the decaffeinated experience, delivering a cup that’s every bit as flavorful as its caffeinated counterparts.
Wilton’s Commitment to Innovation
From sterilizing cherries with ozone gas and UV light to fermenting with specific yeast strains, every step of Wilton’s process is about control and quality. His dedication to pushing the boundaries of specialty coffee makes this decaf a standout choice for those who crave exceptional flavor without the buzz.
Perfect for late-night brews or a calm afternoon indulgence, Granja Paraíso 92 - Red Bourbon Decaf redefines what decaf coffee can be.
