Red Apple. Cocoa. Malt. Vanilla Syrup.

The Gunless Gangsta has all the street cred of legitimately beautiful coffee without packing heat in the form of caffeine. The photo for this label was taken outside my brother’s house, where his photography genius of a wife took an incredible shot. The smoke in the photo is flour being thrown from multiple directions. Full disclosure. The dude in the picture is Ignacio, aka Nacho, a beautiful soul, who hails from Argentina not Colombia and isn’t actually a gangsta.

The soil and climate of Huila is perfectly suited for coffee production, as well as a variety of other crops such as yucca, sugarcane, bananas, cocoa and beans. As sugar cane is plentiful in the area, local producers use it to decaffeinate the green coffee.

This sugarcane decaffeination process involves Ethyl Acetate (EA), a naturally occurring byproduct of sugarcane fermentation. The EA is sourced from the sugarcane industry around Palmira, Colombia.

Our Gunless Gangsta Decaf is sourced from a collection of producers, farming Castillo and Caturra varieties, coming together to produce a complete cup full of deep sweetness, balanced acidity and rich body.
