It's been a while since we had a second decaf on our menu, so it feels great to have another one!
Osito owns a farm in Colombia, and the Losadas brothers own a farm in the same town. They have been buying their decaf whenever it's available.
We also use this light decaf in a half caffeinated Zen Blend!
Those EA decaf from Colombia never disappoint!

We have a good relationship with the Amatenango producers for our Mexican decaf and have access to more information.
Our quest for a more meaningful, long terms relationship for our second decaf is still ongoing.
