Descaney — Sugar Cane Decaf, Caturra & Castillo

Specialty Decaf — El Caney Estate

SCA Score: 85
15 bags of 70kg available — NL warehouse
Sensory Experience
Milk Chocolate Panela Dried Fruit Hazelnut
"A decaf that defies expectations. The natural process addition provides a surprising fruity sweetness that lifts the classic chocolate and panela base."
🔥 Roaster's Insight
  • Sugar cane decaf: This natural ethyl acetate process preserves more body and sweetness than CO2 or Swiss Water methods. A slightly longer roast development brings out the panela notes.
  • Result: A decaf that doesn't taste like a compromise — full body, real sweetness.

About this Coffee

Descaney proves that decaf doesn't mean flavorless. Sourced from Gustavo Zuluaga at Finca El Caney, this lot uses a sugar cane (natural ethyl acetate) decaffeination process.

Indicative pricing on request. Final pricing depends on lot, volume, and delivery terms. Typical MOQ starts at 35 kg.

A small natural-process addition (5%) lifts the cup with dried fruit sweetness on top of the classic chocolate and panela base.
