  • Description:

    Grown by smallholder farmers working through cooperatives across Colombia's coffee regions, this blend draws its balance from many altitudes and microclimates. The coffee is decaffeinated close to home using ethyl acetate derived from Colombian sugar cane, a gentle process that removes caffeine while leaving the bean's natural structure and sweetness intact. In the cup, rich cocoa and brown sugar open into a gentle lift of ripe stone fruit, carried on a round, creamy body to a clean finish.

      Variety: Rotating

    At Overlook Coffee Company, freshness is paramount in our pursuit of excellence. We are dedicated to sourcing the freshest crops available to craft our signature blends. Throughout the year, we diligently sample new batches of green coffee, ensuring that only the finest beans are selected to maintain the exceptional flavor profiles of our blends. By continually monitoring and selecting the highest quality beans, we guarantee a consistent flavor experience with every cup.

      Process: Sugarcane Decaf

    The sugar cane process, also called ethyl acetate or EA decaffeination, was developed in Colombia and relies on a compound that occurs naturally in ripe fruit. Ethyl acetate is derived from fermented Colombian sugar cane and used to wash green coffee that has first been softened with water and steam. The solution bonds with caffeine and draws it out over repeated cycles until at least 97 percent is removed. A final steaming clears any trace of the compound, and the beans are dried back to a stable moisture. Because ethyl acetate is selective in what it removes, the coffee keeps its sweetness, body, and structure, avoiding the flat, muted character of many conventional decafs.

      Elevation: 1500-1800M

    Elevation plays a crucial role in determining the quality and flavor profile of coffee beans. Generally, higher elevations are associated with better quality coffee. As coffee plants grow at higher altitudes, they face cooler temperatures, reduced oxygen levels, and increased exposure to sunlight. These conditions cause the coffee cherries to mature more slowly, allowing them to develop more complex flavors and a higher concentration of sugars.

    A coffee profile, also known as a flavor profile or tasting notes, refers to the unique combination of flavors, aromas, and characteristics present in a particular coffee bean or blend. It encompasses a range of sensory attributes such as acidity, body, sweetness, bitterness, aroma, and aftertaste. Coffee profiles can vary widely depending on factors like the bean's origin, variety, processing method, roast level, and brewing technique.

  • Colombian coffee has grown in the folds of the Andes since the early eighteenth century, but its character was shaped as much by people as by mountains. Generations of smallholder farmers joined together into cooperatives to face the market with a shared voice, and in doing so raised the standard for everyone. The coops teach and refine growing practices, protect the land through sustainable farming, and invest their earnings back into local projects and education, so that quality and community rise together.
    This lot gathers that tradition into a single bag. It is sourced from many smallholder members across several of Colombia's growing regions, where each altitude and microclimate adds something of its own to a rounded, balanced whole. Even the decaffeination happens in Colombia, through a locally developed process built on ethyl acetate from Colombian sugar cane, so the coffee's entire journey from cherry to caffeine-free green bean stays close to the farms and communities that grew it. A beautiful expression of decaf coffee, made carefully by many hands.
