Your Local Coffee Roasters - Popayan Reserve Decaf

This coffee is produced by selected farms in the Popayan region. The coffee is milled in Popayan and transported to Caldas to be decaffeinated.

The decaffeination process for this coffee is unique. The caffeine is extracted from the coffee using a natural by-product of sugar cane and water. This process avoids excessive temperatures seen in other decaffeination processes and leaves a coffee with enhanced sweetness which roasts and tastes much more like the original, caffeinated coffee.

The big advantage of this process, outside of the flavour profile, is that it was developed and is completed in Colombia. This allows for the verticalisation of the supply chain without the extra costs and food miles of shipping the coffee to decaffeination plants in Mexico, Canada or Germany and the profits stay within the country of origin.

About Your Local Coffee Roasters: 
“Your Local has been built on what matters most to us: family, hospitality and community.
When I looked at the role that coffee has played in my own life, I saw that coffee has been a tool for self discovery, mindfulness, friendships, love, happiness, sharing and community.
I wanted to create a space that celebrated this. That fostered a connection to a time, a place or a moment, and allowed others to explore and discover their own journey with coffee, whatever that might be for them.
I’ve loved coffee, experimented with it, competed and won nationally as a barista, and now, I’ve turned my passion to purpose by creating my own coffee space that I can share with others through Your Local.
Our family has made Pukekohe our home. A move here was an opportunity to create a lifestyle for our family that we love, but Your Local is not just for us, it’s for you too.
At Your Local, our guests are our community, this space is our home, and our coffee is a means of connecting with others. It makes us feel good, and we want to make you feel good, too. 
We’d love you to make this a place you also call home, so join us, and make coffee a part of your story.
