A delicious cup of decaf coffee is a beautiful thing. This lot was harvested by the K’uychi group in Nariño, Colombia and then decaffeinated at the first and only decaffeination plant in Colombia, which uses sugarcane for the process.The result is one of the sweetest and most complex cups of coffee we've ever tasted, with notes of black cherry, dried date, and molasses.

Story

There are many ways to remove caffeine from green (unroasted) coffee beans and many different facilities around the world that do it. One differentiating factor is the decaffeinating agent used. Counter Culture offers coffees that are decaffeinated using either water or Ethyl Acetate, a derivative of sugarcane. For this offering, Ethyl Acetate was used in the process at DESCAFECOL, the first and only decaffeination plant in Colombia. To shorten the distance that the coffee travels, Counter Culture selected lots from farmers in Colombia, resulting in a fresher, more sustainable product.

Decaf K’uychi is one of the sweetest, most-complex cups of decaffeinated coffee out there. That's due, in part, to the sugar used during the process. Decaf coffee drinkers are the true coffee lovers––here for the flavor, not for the kick. This decaffeinated coffee really delivers.

K’uychi means “rainbow” in the indigenous Quechua language and is the name the farmers chose for their coffee to distinguish it from other groups in the region.
