Named after the local milling facility in Popayan, this coffee hails from the southwest region of Colombia, Cauca, bordered by departments such as Tolima, Huila, Caqueta, Putumayo, and Nariño, as well as the Pacific Ocean. The area's diverse landscape, including rainforests, basins, and volcanoes, along with natural parks, fosters a variety of crops like sugar cane, panela cane, potato, corn, yucca, beans, tomatoes, and coffee. Cauca's undulating slopes, renowned for their stunning landscapes, are where coffee thrives, cultivated in small plots by local farmers. Inza, with its 34 municipalities, accounts for 93,000 hectares of coffee-producing farmland in Cauca. The region's high altitude, equatorial proximity, and volcanic soils create an ideal environment for cultivating high-quality coffee. Smallholder farmers, often with plots under 5 hectares, meticulously tend to the land. They selectively harvest and process coffee when cherries reach peak maturity, resulting in a distinguished flavor profile with pronounced notes of caramel and red fruits.
Decaffeination Process..
Sugarcane ethyl acetate processing, commonly referred to as natural decaffeination or 'Sugar Cane Decaf', starts by fermenting molasses derived from sugarcane to create ethanol. The ethanol is mixed with acetic acid which creates ethyl acetate. Ethyl-acetate is considered 'naturally occurring' since it exists naturally in minute quantities in ripened fruit and vegetation, such as sugar cane, apples, and berries. Green coffee beans are first soaked in water and steamed to expand the cells of the bean. The beans are then soaked and washed in Ethyl Acetate solution, which is used as a solvent to bond with caffeine and is removed from the bean. After the Ethyl Acetate wash, the coffee is then rinsed, dried, and packed for shipping.
How to brew Guidelines
Commercial Machine or a good home machine
Brew ratio of 1:18
23g of Espresso Grind coffee (fine)
42g of espresso liquid (double shot)
29 Seconds This means from when you push button / pull lever, until your 39g of espresso liquid is out you my have to adjust your grind to get this right
Home espresso machine..
The key here is to really slow the flow down if you can adjust the grind, you need to adjust it so you have the oils coming out of the coffee not just dish water.. lol.. if you are manually putting the coffee in the basket try the calculation below
weight in the basket ____ x 1.8 = Espresso shot in grams/ milligrams
eg. 12 x 1.8 = 21.6 grams or milligrams
all this in 27 seconds if you can but really depends on your machine set up.
French press filter coffee - I feel this is a rough guide as it's all about your personal taste.. if it's to strong just add more water????
16g coarse grid coffee
240g 94 degree hot water
