Horizonte Legal (Decaf), Colombia

No caffeine? Breaking the rules in the coffee world? Legalise it! For coffee with milk and espresso. Sweet, balanced and low in acidity.

This single origin from Colombia surprises coffee connoisseurs with a creamy sweetness without the caffeine effect. With a caffeine content of 0.1% or less, this is a great coffee to drink with milk or use for desserts such as affogato and tiramisu.

TheseLegal beans are roasted particularly gently so that they are not subjected to additional stress after the decaffeination process. The company Descafecol from Manizales, Colombia, decaffeinates the beans. After a visit to Horizonte, they decided in favour of Descafecol because we were impressed by their first-class working methods and production facilities.

Descafecol uses a combination of natural ethyl acetate (EA) and water for decaffeination. EA is naturally present in every coffee bean, as well as many other fruits and vegetables. No foreign substances are added.

Decaffeination takes place in large extraction containers with softened coffee beans, which are washed with natural EA. The process is repeated several times to remove all the caffeine. Natural EA is obtained from the sugar cane industry in Palmira (Colombia) and, together with spring water, is the only substance that comes into contact with the beans.

The remaining EA is then removed from the beans. To do this, steam is passed over the coffee at low pressure. Descafecol delivers beans with no more than 5 ppm (parts per million) EA in the coffee. International standards accept an EA residue of up to 20 ppm. By comparison, bananas have about 20 times the EA of our decaffeinated legal coffees.

This process allows for a gentle extraction of caffeine, avoiding excessive heat and pressure to keep the important cell structure of the coffee bean intact.

The Alto Occidente Coooperative, the producers of the legal beans, has always stood up against exploitation. In the 1950s, coffee farmers from the Riseralda region had had enough of middlemen, who were the main buyers of their beans at the time. A group of farmers joined forces and founded "Alto Occidente". The cooperative takes care of purchasing coffee, access to credit and the provision of agricultural materials. All members are small-scale producers, which means that the work on their farms is mainly done by their own families.

Fresh Service: This coffee is freshly roasted for you every Monday and shipped two days later.

Some companies take a short break during the public holidays. It is therefore possible that your order will not be dispatched until after the holidays. Thank you for your understanding

We recommend that espresso roasts be used 12 days after the roast date or filter coffees 5 days after the roast date found on the package. Freshly roasted coffee needs this time until it is ready for a constant extraction.

We ask that the order is always sent before 23:59 on Sunday, so that we can ensure a shipment on the following Wednesday.
