Coffee breakdown:
Country: Colombia
Variety: decaffeinated in Colombia under instruction using Ethyl Acetate derived from sugar-cane.
Process: Decaffeinated in Colombia using Ethyl Acetate derived from sugar cane
Producer: Various smallholder producers in Huila

This regional blend from Huila is built from microlots from Small Batch's portfolio producers. These are all smallholders, ecological farmers, all paid under Small Batch's livelihood model, an initiative to provide economic security to producers even when their coffees don't quite make the cut as exceptional microlots. Small Batch is pretty proud of this one and what it means on the ground.

Small Batch purchases all of its Colombian coffee directly from smallholder producers, buying parchment coffee and paying in full upon delivery to the mill. Small Batch then takes charge of the parchment, contracting the milling service and the decaffeination process in Manizales, and exports via its Colombian company, Shared Source S.A.S.
