This coffee is made to order so you get the freshest and best quality product possible. 
Located in a biological Conservation Corridor, Valle del Cauca lies between the National Park of Tatama and "serrania de los paraguas". Some years ago, this region was identified by Conservation International as one of the two main conservation corridors in Colombia. Farmers in this region are strongly aware of the importance of the preservation of natural resources, water management and friendly environmental practices. Valle del Cauca was once a prominent producer of coffee, but much of the land is now dedicated to producing sugar cane. This Excelso coffee was decaffeinated using the Sugarcane Process. The process uses ethyl acetate - an organic compound found in sugar cane - to remove 97% of the caffeine from coffee beans. The process tends to leave a pleasant, sweet flavor. This coffee was grown at 1750 meters, features Castillo and Caturra varietals, and boasts flavors of cherry, citrus, caramel and cane sugar. It has medium body and bright acidity.
For maximum freshness, all coffee is packaged in resealable foil-lined bags, that have a one-way valve, keeping oxygen out while allowing gasses to escape. A portion of all sales from this coffee is donated to benefit the student scholarship fund on the Rio Grande Bible College, an accredited Bible College on the Texas/Mexico border. All classes are in Spanish and about 90% of the student body comes from Latin American countries. www.riogrande.edu
