Details of process:

STEP 1. selection of ripe fruits. the process begins with the careful collection of only the ripe coffee fruits. this guarantees optimal quality for decaffeinated coffee. STEP 2. disinfection with treated water. the harvested fruits undergo a disinfection process using treated water. this ensures the elimination of possible contaminants and guarantees the hygiene of the coffee. STEP 3. selection by density with water. a selection is carried out by density using water. this process allows the coffee fruits to be separated according to their density, ensuring the quality of the selected beans. STEP 4. fermentation with preferments. the selected coffee beans undergo a fermentation process for 90 hours, using preferments similar to the sourdough used in baking. this stage is crucial for the development of unique flavours in coffee. STEP 5. washing. after fermentation, the coffee beans are thoroughly washed to remove residue and unwanted flavours. STEP 6. addition of natural solvent. a natural solvent obtained from the pulp or peel of the same coffee is added through enzymatic and fermentative processes. this solvent is essential to extract caffeine from the beans. STEP 7. immersion in solvent. the coffee beans are soaked in the solvent for approximately 48 hours. this process allowsthe caffeine to dissolve in the solvent, leaving the coffee beans decaffeinated. STEP 8. final wash. after immersion in the solvent, the coffee beans are washed again to remove any residual solvent. STEP 9. drying. the decaffeinated coffee beans are placed in a drying area and allowed to dry for approximately 8 days. this ensures that the beans reach the proper moisture level before being packaged.

Producer

Farm Las Flores began in 1990, it was founded by Edilberto Vergara and Nubia Ayure. A family is already formed in a nucleus of 5 children: Xiomara, Leonardo, Carlos, Jhoan and Diego. In 2006 they took the initiative to compete in the cup of excellence and was ranked 16th and it was at that moment that she took the first steps to explore the great world of specialty coffees. Years Later, mother passed away and left us a very important legacy, a task that we must carry out. At Sena, where he learns better agricultural practices that lead to improving all the links in the coffee chain and emphasize quality in the cup, at this time the traditional Caturra variety that we had cultivated began to be renewed and little by little we visited producers, getting to know different types of varieties, tasting and analyzing sensory profiles that were consistent with the height of our farm and available soils.Carlos and Diego are in charge of processing and giving proper management to fermentation times, types of processes and care in drying, Jhoan is in charge of analyzing the experiments, defining which process is according to the variety and judging the quality. He is also in charge of the commercial part to publicize the work that is done together.ACHIEVEMENTSJhoan in 2019 participates in the MASTER OF COFFEE contest, in the coffee grower - roaster modality, occupying the first place of 162 participants with flagship rosé bourbon variety with a semi-washed process. He had the opportunity to travel to South Korea and participate in an auction with coffees from different parts of the world, achieving first place in the auction.
