This coffee came about through a conversation with Eton at Atlantic Specialty Coffee. We’ve had a keen focus on decaffeinating a high-quality microlot for some time now, but the problem that we have always ran into was a high toll number that the stations work in. Typically, stations will only decaffeinate a coffee if the lot is fifty to seventy-five bags. This is quite a large lot of decaf for us, which has kept us from working through a station to decaffeinate coffee. Lucky for us, Eton has been thinking about doing this same idea, so we agreed to split the lot this first year to decrease the risk, hoping for good results. We worked with our friend Pedro at Pergamino to create a fifty bag microlot from Aponte that would fit our profile perfectly. Everything aligned just right, and the results are some of the best decaf we’ve ever purchased.
