{"title":"Colombian Coffee","description":"\u003cp\u003eColombian coffee and Colombian coffee beans are for drinkers who want balance, sweetness and a cup that feels polished without becoming dull. This collection is built for the speciality explorer and the decaf devotee, because Colombia appears in WACC's active range through San Lorenzo Decaf and selected Colombian base coffees. Where the product is San Lorenzo Decaf, the appeal is a proper Colombian cup with lower caffeine, not a compromise brew. Where a flavoured coffee uses a Colombian base, the product should still be read as flavour-led rather than as a single-origin speciality route. Choose this collection when Colombia is the search anchor, then use the product page to confirm roast, format and cluster.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"colombian-speciality-coffee-decaf","title":"San Lorenzo Decaf","description":"\u003cp\u003eSINGLE ORIGIN DECAF | COLOMBIA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDecaf done properly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a 1,600 metre Colombian hillside to your evening cup. San Lorenzo brings every note of speciality coffee without the caffeine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecaf has a reputation it doesn't deserve. Most decaffeinated coffee starts life as commodity beans, processed aggressively, and arrives tasting flat. San Lorenzo is the opposite: SCA 84+ speciality grade, single-origin coffee from the San Lorenzo indigenous community in Rio Sucio, Caldas, washed and then decaffeinated using the sugarcane method before it ever reaches our Glasgow roastery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy sugarcane decaffeination matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEthyl acetate, derived naturally from sugarcane, bonds selectively to caffeine molecules and draws them out gently. No methylene chloride. No harsh solvents. The flavour compounds stay largely intact. The green coffee arrives washed for clarity, then sugarcane-decaffeinated, then roasted medium in our SALSA-certified Glasgow roastery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it tastes like\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaspberry and cherry brighten the opening. Smooth chocolate and almond fudge close it. Acidity is restrained (5\/10), body satisfying (6\/10), sweetness sits high (7\/10). Flavour tags: chocolate, toffee, brown sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to brew it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCafetiere:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30g coarse, 500ml at 95°C, four minutes.

Today, every speciality coffee is small-batch roasted at our SALSA-certified Glasgow roastery. Every lot in the speciality range is independently scored at SCA 84+.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this taste like proper coffee?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. San Lorenzo is speciality grade, scoring SCA 84+. The raspberry, cherry, chocolate and almond fudge are the result of origin, altitude and processing, not workarounds for removing caffeine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does sugarcane decaffeination work?\u003c\/strong\u003e Ethyl acetate extracted naturally from sugarcane bonds to caffeine molecules and removes them gently. It preserves more aromatic compounds than methylene chloride or Swiss Water methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much caffeine is actually in a decaf coffee?\u003c\/strong\u003e The sugarcane (ethyl acetate) method removes around 97% of the coffee's naturally occurring caffeine. A typical cup of decaf contains roughly 2 to 7mg, against about 80 to 100mg in a regular cup of filter coffee. Not zero, but a small fraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does decaf usually disappoint?\u003c\/strong\u003e Most decaf starts as lower-grade commodity beans. If the green coffee lacks flavour to begin with, no process can create it. San Lorenzo starts as SCA 84+ speciality grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich formats are available?\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose whole beans, ground for cafetiere, or ground for espresso.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"We Are Coffee Co.","offers":[{"title":"Small 227g \/ Whole Bean \/ X1","offer_id":56672137216386,"sku":"FP\/SCD\/COL\/SL\/227WB","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small 227g \/ Cafetiere \/ X1","offer_id":56672137249154,"sku":"FP\/SCD\/COL\/SL\/227GC","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small 227g \/ Espresso \/ X1","offer_id":56672137281922,"sku":"FP\/SCD\/COL\/SL\/227GE","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large 1kg \/ Whole Bean \/ X1","offer_id":56672137314690,"sku":"FP\/SCD\/COL\/SL\/1KGWB","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large 1kg \/ Cafetiere \/ X1","offer_id":56672137347458,"sku":"FP\/SCD\/COL\/SL\/1KGGC","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large 1kg \/ Espresso \/ X1","offer_id":56672137380226,"sku":"FP\/SCD\/COL\/SL\/1KGGE","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small 227g \/ Whole Bean \/ X3","offer_id":56672112214402,"sku":"FP\/SCD\/COL\/SL\/3X227WB","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/6949\/2677\/files\/Speciality_SanLorenzo_Whole_227_f949ee79-f446-414b-9d48-1ec016865baf.png?v=1779575372"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.wearecoffeeco.com\/collections\/colombian-coffee.oembed","provider":"We Are Coffee Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
