Colombia- Brussels, Pitalito. Decaffeinated
This decaffeinated coffee collected in the Huila region and processed in El Diviso goes through a 36-hour oxidation process and fermentation in the absence of oxygen for 60 hours. Natural decaffeination allows for a gentle extraction of caffeine from the bean, thus maintaining the natural structure and characteristics of the coffee bean.

History
The history of Finca Las Flores began in 1990 when Edilberto and Nubia, coming from the department of Cundinamarca, decided to live in Acevedo, Huila. Years later, the farm was remodeled and dedicated to the production of specialty coffees, applying science and technology to achieve high quality standards. Today, Jhoan and his brother Diego manage Finca Las Flores, demonstrating that the new generations of coffee growers are ready to take on the challenge.
Finca el Diviso is a family business that has been producing coffee for around 25 years. This project was started by José Uribe Lasso, and in the last five years they focused on the production of specialty coffees, forming a family work team and some friends, managing to standardize processing protocols that allow them to standardize quality in coffee batches. The two brothers have teamed up with Jhoan Vergara to create El Diviso. El Diviso brings together the two-family farms, El Diviso by Néstor and Adrián Lasso and Las Flores Jhoan Vergara, near the town of Pitalito, in the Huila region of Colombia. This partnership was excellent as these 3 young people combined their knowledge to improve quality. In this association, this year they have begun to process regional batches, they buy the cherry from their neighbors and process it on the El Diviso farm.
Tasting note
Tropical fruit, ripe cherry, sweet potato and cocoa shell.
Process
The coffee cherries are selected and picked at a state of full ripeness with approximately 22º brix. The cherries are floated and washed. A 36-hour oxidation process is then carried out. Next, flotation is carried out to reduce the temperature.
The cherries are pulped and anaerobic fermentation is carried out for 60 hours in plastic bags. To finish the fermentation process, a thermal shock is carried out with water at 50ºC. Natural drying for 2 weeks combined with mechanical drying depending on weather conditions, an additional 2-3 weeks to stabilize it in the cellar.
Decaffeination Process: It is a natural process that combines high mountain spring water and Ethyl Acetate (EA) of natural origin; The latter is present in all coffee beans in their natural state (as well as in many fruits and vegetables), so the addition of synthetic chemicals of any kind takes place.
Natural EO is obtained through a process based on sugar cane and, together with mountain spring water, are the only elements with which the coffee comes into contact. This water-AE process allows for a gentle extraction of caffeine from the bean, avoiding excessive heat and pressure, thus maintaining the natural structure and characteristics of the coffee bean.
