He was one of the founding members and President of Asociación Primaveral in Acevedo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElias has two primary farms, Finca Tamana in Pital and Finca Recuerdo in Acevedo. They are planted with many different heirloom varieties, including some with African lineage. On both farms, Elias utilizes dry fermentation for roughly 14-16 hours, followed by several washes with fresh water. The coffee is then transferred to raised beds for slow, meticulous drying. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coffee has been decaffeinated through the EA (Ethyl Acetate), which is common in Colombia. Ethyl acetate is an occurring ester (present in bananas and also as a by-product of fermented sugars) that is used as a solvent to bond with and remove caffeine from green coffee. First, the coffee is sorted and steamed for 30 minutes under low pressure in order to open the coffee seeds’ pores and prepare them for decaffeination. The coffee is placed in a solution of both water and ethyl acetate, where the E.A. will begin to bond with the salts of chlorogenic acids inside the seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tank will be drained and re-filled over the course of eight hours until caffeine is no longer detected. The seeds are steamed once more to remove the ethyl acetate traces, though E.A. is only harmful to humans in very high quantities (400 parts per million or more). The coffee is then dried and polished for export.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe find Finca Tamana's decaf to be incredibly sweet and delicate, with notes of pear, caramel, and chocolate truffle. It brings the essence of high quality Colombian coffees without the caffeine!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caffeine Control Coffee","offers":[{"title":"150g","offer_id":52160380174629,"sku":"MISSING_SKU","price":18.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":52160380207397,"sku":"MISSING_SKU","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3345\/2581\/files\/Colombia_Finca_Tamana_Decaf.png?v=1774597691","url":"https:\/\/www.theroastcollective.com\/products\/single-origin-colombia-finca-tamana-ea-decaf","provider":"The Roast Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
