What is so special about this coffee?

Red Plum Decaf is a clear example of the Bermúdez family’s innovative processing at Finca El Paraíso, carefully adapted for a decaf coffee. Using their custom “Paraíso Red Fruit” culture, and a controlled double fermentation with pulp, which enhances the coffee sweetness and aromatic complexity while ensuring repeatability across each lot. This approach is designed not to exaggerate flavors, but to deliver consistency and balance, especially important in decaf coffees.

After fermentation, the coffee undergoes a thermal shock wash and dehumidified drying, helping stabilize the cup and preserve aromatics before decaffeination. It is then naturally decaffeinated using the Sugar Cane process, maintaining the coffee’s sweet, fruit-forward character. The result? A decaffeinated coffee that is dependable for roasters and expressive on the cupping table, showing why Finca El Paraíso continues to push the boundaries of Colombian specialty coffee, without losing clarity or control.
