25005_Washed_PinkBourbon_Villamaria_Colombia (UK)

% anoxic washed & decaffeinated anoxic washed
a fascinating pair of coffees that demonstrate the impact of decaffeination on coffee's flavour. these are both a pink bourbon cultivar from villamaría, caldas, colombia, processed via raw material's infamous anoxic washed process at their jamaica washing station. the decaffeinated version is the same coffee, only decaffeinated.

visually, the two coffees are distinct, yet taste these blind and you will struggle to figure out which is which!

% what raw material want you to know
Villamaría is a Colombian municipality located in the department of Caldas. Villamaría is located a few kilometres from the city of Manizales, whose urban areas are surrounded by the Chinchiná  River. Our drying station “Jamaica” is located in Chinchiná, Caldas.

For these Villamaría anoxic washed coffees, cherries are first delivered to La Aurora on the day they are harvested, then subject to the anoxic, water pillow process, where cherries are contained in a sealed environment (without oxygen) with a plastic sheet holding cold water held above the cherries for a very short time. Cherries are then taken to Jamaica for processing, where they are floated and sorted before being pulped. They are then fermented for an average of 24 hours before being dried on raised beds.
