About This Coffee

This decaf coffee comes from El Placer Coffee Project in Quindío, Colombia, operated by Sebastián Ramírez, a fourth-generation coffee grower. The Caturra variety is grown at 1750-2000 meters altitude. It is decaffeinated using Colombia's sugarcane EA (ethyl acetate) method, where beans are lightly steamed, then washed with ethyl acetate extracted from fermented sugarcane. The EA bonds to caffeine and removes it while preserving sweetness and origin character. Flavor notes include sugar cane, chocolate, and citrus with syrupy sweetness, milk chocolate body, and gentle citrus lift.

Somewhere Coffee Company

Founded in 2018 in Toronto's west end, Somewhere Coffee Company leans into the idea of coffee as an escape, a way to travel to another place without leaving your neighborhood. The roastery sources from diverse global origins including Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, Kenya, Brazil, and Indonesia, and coffees are often named to evoke their country of origin, reinforcing the travel theme. Small batch roasting produces medium profiles that balance origin character with everyday drinkability. The approach is playful but the quality is serious, with a wholesale program supplying Toronto cafes and restaurants. A subscription service keeps things moving with rotating selections that take subscribers on a kind of global coffee journey from their kitchen.
