San Antonio Sugarcane Decaf: Espresso Roast

Roasted to maximise sweetness, our San Antonio decaf excels in milk-based beverages and as a short black. Classic espresso flavours of chocolate and hazelnuts abound.  

This coffee was produced by 14 smallholder coffee producers from the region surrounding the small town of San Antonio, overlooking Colombia’s highest volcano, Nevado del Huila. The rich, volcanic soil of the region contributes to the excellent cup quality of coffees grown here. The region’s cool overnight temperatures result in dense beans, which are notable for their sweetness and complexity.
