Decaf Atunkaa showcases commitment to transparency and fair prices for farmers. It is sourced from the Central Cauca Association for Peace (ACC) in Piendamó, Cauca. ACC was created by a local farmer who wanted to add value to Castillo coffee and provide stable incomes to help neighbors avoid illicit crops. 'Atunkaa' in the Wayuu dialect describes the state of sleeping or dreaming. In the cup, expect pear, green apple, and a juicy body.

To process Atunkaa, coffee was picked very ripe to achieve higher sugar content. It was then floated to separate the best cherries for processing. The cherries were moved to a mechanical silo for around 48 hours at 82 degrees Fahrenheit to dehydrate the coffee until reaching a 20% moisture level. It then underwent a 24 hour fermentation in sealed bags at ambient temperature. The cherries were then dried in the same mechanical silo at 99 degreed Fahrenheit until reaching 15% moisture, after which it was dried again in a parabolic drying system to 10% moisture. The coffee is decaffeinated by Descafecol using a sustainable sugarcane-based process.

Our coffee bags are now recyclable - just return your used bag to any of our cafés and we'll take care of the rest.
