Since 2022, Jhonatan Gasca has refined every stage of production - from selective harvesting through to fermentation and drying - with a focus on traceability and expressive, high-quality lots. This attention to detail has led to high acclaim - in 2025 Zarza produced the coffee for world barista champion Jack Simpson that took him to the title.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Pacamara variety, known for its bold fruity tasting notes, is an unusual starting point for this decaf. \u003c\/span\u003ePacamara is a cross between the high yielding Pacas variety and the big-beaned Maragogype. It was developed in El Salvador in the 1950's, where it still dominates the national cup of excellence \u003cspan\u003ecompetition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis coffee undergoes natural processing with an anaerobic fermentation before decaffeination. Only fully ripe, high-brix cherries are handpicked and sorted. The whole cherries then go through an initial oxidation phase to activate native yeasts, before extended fermentation in sealed environments - developing a complex brightness and cacao-like depth. The cherries are then dried slowly on raised beds over 20–30 days, concentrating sugars and preserving fermentation complexity, before resting to stabilise the profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coffee is then transported to Descafecol where it undergoes Sugarcane EA decaffeination. The resultant coffee is 99.9% caffeine free - a reduction in caffeine of approximately 90%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a complex decaf for the curious coffee drinker: bright floral and rose notes making way for a deeper ripe fruits and long chocolate finish with a sweet syrupy body. We've roasted it lighter than our typical decaf, but with enough development to maintain a balanced cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Calm Coffee Roastery","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":62387751092554,"sku":"D-2603-COL-250","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Cafetiere","offer_id":62387751125322,"sku":"D-2603-COL-250","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Filter","offer_id":62387751158090,"sku":"D-2603-COL-250","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Stovetop","offer_id":62387751190858,"sku":"D-2603-COL-250","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/7591\/7386\/files\/Calm-Coffee-Roastery-Decaf-Colombia-Zarza-Tasting-Notes_24c455d9-5cd7-4d66-97d6-ce218c322623.jpg?v=1781881033","url":"https:\/\/calmcoffeeroastery.co.uk\/products\/decaf-colombia-zarza","provider":"Calm Coffee Roastery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
