Story
This innovative coffee process starts with a 120-hour anaerobic fermentation in cherry, combined with dehydrated passion fruit pulp to infuse the beans with rich, fruity flavors. After fermentation, the beans are dried in mechanical silos for 144 hours to ensure optimal moisture content. They then undergo a 30-day stabilization period in GrainPro bags to achieve consistency and preserve their unique flavor profile. The result is a coffee with distinctive notes of brown spice, dark chocolate, passion fruit, citric acid, and tangerine.
Sugarcane Decaffeination (EA)
Sugarcane decaffeination uses ethyl acetate (EA), a naturally occurring compound derived from sugar cane crops in the Valle del Cauca region of Colombia, to remove caffeine from coffee beans. The process is straightforward: coffee beans are first moistened with water, and EA is circulated through them. EA bonds with the caffeine, extracting it while preserving most of the flavor compounds. Once the desired level of decaffeination is reached, the beans are steamed to remove any remaining EA residue, ensuring the coffee retains its rich flavor without the caffeine.

Beautiful Coffees with Radical Equity.
Proportional Pricing is ridiculously simple. Farmers get the first cut. Instead of letting the commodity green coffee market set a low floor price, Torque simply pre-pays coffee producers 20% of the retail price of our roasted coffee. The higher the price you pay the more they get paid. The transparent 20% ratio means both you and the farmers know exactly how much of the value they receive.
