Guatemala El Hato CO2 Decaffeinated - 500g
We're delighted to have this coffee back in the Roastery. I don't think we can pay this a bigger compliment, other than to say - it would stand up against it's caffeinated counterparts! The keen amongst you might remember this coffee from a while back. It's a superb Fully Washed coffee from the Farm of El Hato, which sits in the Santa Rosa district at around 1200 - 1450 m.a.s.l.
Lovely front end with a candied orange & mango notes, with a caramel finish. Beautifully smooth and very moreish.
Verena de Rasch owns El Hato and has utilized her love for trees and exotic plants to surround the coffee trees with a native jungle of plants. The farm was first established in 1938, when its original owner, Enrique Topke, began spreading coffee in this region, in addition to raising cattle in his open fields. Enrique’s family still work on the farm and experienced the devastation of Coffee Leaf Rust in 2018, when roughly 60% of the farm’s crop was lost to the disease.

Decaffeination Method
Very gentle decaffeination with natural carbon dioxide: In 1988 CR3 developed a patented decaffeination process using natural carbon dioxide under subcritical conditions (i.e. relatively low temperature and pressure). This particularly gentle process and the good caffeine selectivity of liquid CO2 guarantee a high retention of aroma and taste components. The process is all--‐natural and certified organic.
