Journey through Colombia's diverse highlands without the caffeine jitters. This meticulously processed decaf preserves the rich hazelnut foundation and brown sugar sweetness that makes Colombian coffee beloved worldwide. The natural sugarcane process enhances the coffee's inherent body while maintaining its smooth, balanced character—proof that decaf doesn't need to be a compromise.
Named after Tumbaga—a historic Colombian alloy that balanced gold's brilliance with copper's subtlety—this coffee embodies a similar harmonious quality. Sourced from small-scale farmers across Colombia's premier growing regions, these beans thrive in volcanic soils at elevations between 1,400-2,100 meters, where the altitude slows cherry development and enhances flavor complexity.
What makes this decaf exceptional is its foundation—starting with high-quality beans specifically selected for their full body and balanced sweetness. The beans undergo the innovative sugarcane process, where naturally-derived ethyl acetate (from Colombian sugarcane) gently removes caffeine while preserving the coffee's essential flavor compounds. This process actually enhances the natural sweetness and maintains the chocolate characteristics that would otherwise be muted in conventional decaffeination.
Colombia's unique geographical diversity enables consistent quality year-round, as production rotates between different growing regions following harvest seasons—Tolima and Cauca during summer months, Antioquia and Eje Cafetero in winter. Each region contributes subtle nuances to the cup while maintaining the core chocolate and caramel flavor profile.
