We wanted to create a blend that reminds us of the group rides that we love; fun, flexible and approachable. We bring new coffees to the blend like bringing new friends to a group ride. As seasons change so does the blend, always reliable but still fun and fresh. Watch our Instagram story @prestacoffee to find us at an occasional group ride in Tucson.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlending coffee is a good way to create a balanced coffee that is easy to brew well with less concern for your brewing method, equipment, or technique.

Initially planting Catimore, Red Caturra, and Yellow Caturra, the desire for knowledge came next. Learning about coffee processing equipment, methods, and how to establish El Vergel in the Colombia specialty coffee scene. Around 10 years later, At the recommendation of Miguel Jimenez, they began to plant\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Geisha, Java, Pacamara, and Red Bourbon, releasing the first harvest from these premium varieties in 2017. Since then the farm has modernized, creating an environment for the Bayter family to push the boundaries of coffee processing, from introducing Natural processing on the estate in 2018, to learning more about aerobic and anaerobic fermentation, and developing the unique Koji processing method. Their continued research and experimentation with controlled fermentation will keep pushing the evolution of coffee, and we will keep bringing the coffee in to share with you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bean is decaffeinated using Ethel Acetate derived from sugar cane that is grown locally. Ethel Acetate is used because of its low boiling point so it can be easily flushed, and because it is a caffeine specific solvent. The green coffee is first steamed and soaked, causing it to swell up, enabling easier extraction of the caffeine. The beans are then soaked in the ethel acetate solvent, which attaches to the caffeine molecule, before a going through a second steam and soak, with clean water, to flush the caffeine and the solvent without affecting the coffee flavor as drastically as a repeated soaking method would (like the Swiss Water Process). Finally the beans are dried to a similar moisture content they had prior to the decaffeination process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Presta Coffee","offers":[{"title":"10oz","offer_id":40126527275083,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":41078808281163,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":40126527307851,"sku":"","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0176\/8267\/files\/decaf_bag_d4c08841-75d0-47ed-a2b8-76b5de324fcb.png?v=1728878765"},{"product_id":"120-psi-blend","title":"120 PSI Blend","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlend: Peru Washed\/ Ethiopia Natural\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes:  Balanced, chocolatey, sweet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur original house blend, named for the pressure required to operate an espresso machine, but translated into the Presta valve equivalent.
