Orchard Dreams is our idea of what a decaf coffee can be when nothing is rushed and nothing is taken away.
This is the second exclusive decaf we’ve brought into our Calm collection following Berry Dreams, the Wilton Benítez decaf that completely reset our (and your) expectations of what caffeine-free coffee can be. Orchard Dreams continues that line of thinking: decaf chosen not because it’s “safe”, but because it’s genuinely exciting on the cupping table. If you didn’t know it was decaf, you simply wouldn’t guess and yes, it’s de-li-cious.
The coffee comes from Finca Las Flores in Acevedo, Huila, Colombia, produced by Jhoan Vergara and his family. Las Flores is known for its experimental approach to fermentation and its focus on varieties that show high aromatic complexity at altitude.
This lot is a Pink Bourbon, a variety prized for its elegant acidity, floral aromatics, and layered sweetness. Grown at around 1,600–1,750 m.a.s.l., it naturally lends itself to expressive, refined profiles rather than loud intensity, making it an ideal foundation for a Calm coffee.
It is processed using the sugarcane (EA) decaffeination method, selected specifically for its ability to preserve sweetness, clarity, and aromatic detail. Rather than stripping the coffee back, this process allows its structure and character to remain intact, something we consider essential for Calm coffees.
Before decaffeination, the coffee undergoes a carefully controlled, multi-stage fermentation designed to build sweetness and aromatic depth:
• ~36 hours anaerobic fermentation in cherry
• Followed by a short oxidation phase
• Then an additional anaerobic fermentation after depulping
• Carefully dried in a controlled environment to preserve clarity and structure
This kind of processing is very deliberate, not aimed at creating funk or overload, but at enhancing texture, sweetness, and florality while keeping the cup clean and composed.
