There are many ways to remove caffeine from unroasted coffee beans, and many facilities that carry out this task. Counter Culture offers coffees decaffeinated by water or ethyl acetate, a sugarcane derivative. The latter is used to decaffeinate Decaf K’uychi. The result is one of the sweetest, most complex cups of decaffeinated coffee we've ever tasted. The coffee is decaffeinated at DESCAFECOL, Colombia’s first and only decaffeination plant.
Decaf coffee drinkers are the true coffee lovers––here for the flavor, not the kick.
K’uychi means “rainbow” in the Quechua language and is the name the farmers chose for their coffee to distinguish it from other regional groups.
We believe in paying more.
Since 2009, we have published an annual transparency report to serve as a blueprint for our green coffee purchasing practices and a response to chronically low prices in the coffee industry. We believe paying more for green coffee is an important investment in the long-term viability of our coffee-growing partners’ businesses and our supply.
