ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER

From Hacea Coffee Source:

Luz Helena Salazar owns two farms in the Armenia, Quindío region of Colombia, where she has worked for the last two decades with her sons, attuning her focus to the specialty coffee market. She has worked thoughtfully on improving farming practices, combating damaging insects, and the process of selecting the highest quality of ripe cherries. These efforts towards sustainability and quality show in the resulting cup.

Outside of coffee, Luz dedicates her time to many humanitarian efforts within her community. She donates both her time and financial support to local groups that distribute food and clothing to vulnerable groups, such as low income families, the elderly, and individuals displaced by violence. Uplifting her community– both by striving towards higher quality with her farm and giving back to local aid programs–is Luz’s guiding principle.

WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE

Finding a great decaf can be a challenge, but it's one we clearly love to take on. This medium roast decaf is a true gem—smooth, flavorful, and rich with character without much of the “decaf” flavor. From the very first sip, you're greeted with the sweet, fruity essence of raspberry desserts, balanced perfectly by a decadent chocolate-covered cherry flavor. It works wonderfully as both espresso and filter coffee, offering versatility without compromising on taste. The experience finishes with a satisfying hazelnut dessert note, making each cup a delicious treat. Don't miss out on this exceptional decaf—it’s a perfect option for those who want all the flavor, without the caffeine.
