Fiftybeans - Colombia Oscar Hernandez DECAF

Product detailed description

How it tastes:

Like passion fruit, raspberries and cocoa

Processing:

Oscar decided to develop his own version of decaffeination using ethyl acetate (EA). The Los Nogales farm produces a huge amount of coffee husks. These are then placed in barrels until they release their juice. Oscar adds a self-bred yeast strain to the liquid, which causes EA to form in the liquid. The juice is mixed with the peeled beans, which are protected by the parchment, and the EA binds the caffeine to itself. The process takes place in several cycles of varying duration and this method of decaffeinating coffee is just Oscar's know-how. The great advantage is that decaffeination takes place directly on the farm with fresh coffee cherries that are protected by a natural membrane. Normally, decaffeination is done on beans that have already been finished, which can adversely affect the coffee. That's what makes Oscar's decaf really special.

What it's good for:

A great choice for Hoop, Pulsar, V60, batch brew, Aeropress or other filtering gadgets.

Barista Recommendation:

For the best taste, pour water at 100°C over the coffee. Higher temperatures due to possible "burning" of the beans is a myth. We roast it at 600 °C, so you have no way to "burn" it. At all times, use filtered or bottled water with alkalinity in the 60-80 ppm range.

Good to know:

For filter coffee, always use beans no earlier than 7 days from the roasting date. After the 1st opening, allow the package to air out for at least 4 hours before preparing the coffee. This will prevent unwanted bitter notes in the taste.

Package contents:

The package contains roasted Arabica coffee beans in the selected quantity.
