Colombia Wilton Benitez Granja Paraiso 92

What We Taste: Strawberry  Mandarine Peach  Rose  
 
This is not your average decaffeinated coffee.  Producer Wilton Benitez has become one of the world's leaders in coffee production, including innovative farming and processing methods.  This includes the use of terraced gardens, drip irrigation, and laboratory tested shade and nutrition calculations.  Finca Paraiso-92 even has its own microbiology laboratory, quality laboratory and processing plant.
 
The processes applied to the different coffees at Finca Paraiso-92 start from a strict selection, sterilization and characterization of the cherry, before moving to the first phase of controlled anaerobic fermentation which lasts for 36 hours.  Specific microorganisms are added for each process, then the coffee is pulped and subjected to a second fermentation phase, this time in an anaerobic environment using cane sugar juices, which is how the caffeine content is removed while still preserving the coffees vibrant flavours.  When this second phase ends, a process of thermo shock is carried out via alternating hot and cold water to improve the organoleptic conditions of the coffee.
 
All of this effort results in a coffee that stands out in its own right, with the added benefit of being caffeine free so you can enjoy it at anytime.  We love its clean, silky body with a complex profile of strawberries, mandarine, peaches and floral rose notes.
 
Available for either espresso or filter coffee brewing.
