The Bayter family has been farming at El Vergel Estate since 1995, evolving from avocado growers to pioneers in Colombian specialty coffee. Under the leadership of Martha Montenegro and her sons, Elías and Shady, they founded Forest Coffee to champion processing innovation and direct trade. This exceptional decaf lot is processed using the Ethyl Acetate (EA) method. The process begins with a precise fermentation to lock in the coffee's unique flavor profile, followed by a natural caffeine extraction that preserves the bean's essential compounds. The result is a clean, flavorful cup with caffeine levels reduced to 0.1%, proving that decaf can be just as complex and rewarding as any specialty lot.
