Decaf - Colis Resistencia

Cafe Colis Resistencia is a project that we have supported for 5 years through the wonderful coffee produced by Miguel Rodriguez. This year, with the aim of increasing our impact with this project, we have also chosen to present you with a community lot representing 7 producers from this region. And for the first time, we are also offering this coffee in a decaffeinated version, so that more people can enjoy it while supporting this essential initiative.

Since 2015, it is under the name Cafe Colis Resistencia that the Xinca community has mobilized to fight against a silver mining project led by a Canadian company. The mega-extraction project, which is supported by the country's authorities, inexorably threatens the natural habitat of these communities, as well as their coffee plantations, despite any democratic process. The determination of the Cafe Colis Resistencia group has allowed them to win important battles in their fight against this devastating project, which is now on hold. By offering you this coffee, the importation of which has once again been made possible thanks to our partner Semilla Coffee, we affirm our commitment to support this project and the struggle it defends, while giving you the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful coffee, with or without caffeine.

Grown at an altitude of about 1800 meters, this coffee is made up of the Pache, San Ramon, and Catuai varieties. It is picked at full ripeness and sorted by flotation first, then by hand, to remove cherries that are overripe or underripe. It is then mechanically depulped, and fermented dry for 24 to 36 hours, before being spread on a patio for 14 days for slow and even drying. Very round and sweet, it is particularly enjoyable as an espresso, whether in its classic or decaffeinated version.

This classic and round coffee tastes of chocolate, almonds, and cane sugar.
