CONDOR COLOMBIA EA DECAF SINGLE ORIGIN DARK
Notes: Vanilla · Chocolate Wafer · Bittersweet
Cup Profile:
Due to demand, we made our light-roast decaf into a third-wave darker roast.This version has more bittersweet tasting notes but still carries sweetness with just a touch of roast. Our goal was to avoid oils and create a more comforting version of our light decaf. This is it!
This coffee is a decadent tribute to dessert lovers—think vanilla bean ice cream melting into a warm chocolate wafer. At first sip, you'll find yourself wrapped in the nostalgic sweetness of vanilla, frosted banana bread crust. As it cools, layers of clove and chocolate bittersweetness linger.
Summary:
Comforting and classy, this cup balances creamy vanilla sweetness with refined chocolate bittersweetness. Most won’t know this is a decaf! We think its one of the best traditionally washed decafs we have ever had.

History:
It all started in 1995 when the Bayter family took the plunge into farming life at El Vergel Estate. Their first love? Avocados. But when the avocado market took a hit in 2006, they knew it was time to pivot. That’s when they planted their first coffee trees—Catimore, Red and Yellow Caturra—and unknowingly sowed the seeds of something extraordinary.
By 2016, with expert guidance from industry mentor Miguel Jimenez, the family leaned into specialty coffee, bringing in high-end varietals and setting their sights on quality. Just two years later, they doubled down on innovation, diving into natural processing and mastering fermentation control like seasoned alchemists. Their standout move? Developing the groundbreaking Koji fermentation technique—an innovation that’s turning heads across the coffee world.
Behind this wave of innovation are Martha Montenegro and her visionary sons, Elias and Shady. They're not just refining how coffee is made—they're building a movement that fuses agricultural heritage, cutting-edge tech, and a deep commitment to community. At El Vergel, coffee isn’t just a crop—it’s a catalyst for connection, creativity, and joy.
PROCESS HIGHLIGHT:
This decaf is anything but dull. Carefully managed fermentation to unlock distinct flavor notes. For caffeine removal, we use a closed-loop system where beans bathe in a natural mix of water and ethyl acetate (sourced from sugarcane), reducing caffeine content to just 0.1%. The result? A cup that’s clean, bright, and bursting with character.
