This coffee is from Siruma, founded five years ago with the mission of partnering with underserved farming communities in Cauca, Caldas, and Tolima. The company's name comes from the indigenous Wayuunaiki language and means ‘Heaven and Skies’.
Atunkaa Decaf is sourced from the Central Cauca Association for Peace (ACC) in Piendamó, Cauca. ACC was created by a local farmer who wanted to add value to Castillo coffee and provide stable incomes to help neighbours. The process involves picking very ripe cherries to achieve a higher sugar content. It is then floated to separate the best cherries for processing. The cherries were moved to a mechanical silo for approximately 48 hours at 28°C to dehydrate the coffee until reaching a 20% moisture level. It then undergoes a 24-hour fermentation in sealed bags at ambient temperature. The cherries are then dried in the same mechanical silo at 37°C until reaching 15% moisture, after which it is dried again in a parabolic drying system to 10% moisture.
The coffee is decaffeinated by Descafecol using a sustainable sugarcane-based process.
