Wilton Benitez - 01 Castillo Decaf

Experience the artistry of decaffeinated coffee with Castillo Decaf, where exceptional flavour meets precision processing. This coffee stands out for its carefully crafted fermentation process, designed to bring out the best in every bean. The journey begins with hand-harvested cherries, meticulously sorted by size and density to ensure only the finest fruit is selected. The cherries are then fermented for 48 hours with the addition of specific yeast (Saccharomyces pastorianus) to enhance the natural fruity notes, creating a depth of flavour unlike any other.

After fermentation, the beans undergo a slow drying process lasting 88 hours, maintaining their vibrant and complex characteristics. The final decaffeination step uses ethyl acetate derived from sugar cane, a gentle method that preserves the coffee’s rich flavours while removing caffeine. The result is a decaf that retains all the complexity and smoothness you’d expect from a premium coffee.

In the cup, Castillo Decaf delights with tasting notes of Haribo candy, strawberry jam, and milk chocolate, offering a sweet, fruity, and indulgent experience. This coffee is vibrant and lively, yet smooth and well-balanced, making it perfect for those who crave a full-bodied, flavourful cup without the caffeine. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day or enjoying a quiet morning, Castillo Decaf brings the pleasure of great coffee without compromise.
