{"product_id":"off-hours","title":"Off Hours","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Coffee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOff Hours comes from growers in Rio Negro and Iquira, two towns in Huila, Colombia, sitting at 1,700 meters. The coffee is a mix of Tabi, Castillo, and Caturra varietals, grown by farmers in the towns of Tesalia and Teruel who supply the region's washing stations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter picking, the coffee goes through a standard washed process, where the fruit is removed and the beans are fermented and rinsed before drying. The decaffeination happens separately through the EA process (ethyl acetate, a solvent derived from sugarcane or corn that targets caffeine molecules while leaving the bean's structure intact). It's a gentler method than some older decaf techniques, and it's part of why decaf coffee has gotten better over the past decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecaf beans need extra care during roasting since the EA process changes how the bean reacts to heat. Rosso treats this as its own coffee, not an afterthought, roasting it to hold onto flavor rather than just stripping out caffeine and calling it done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Rosso\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosso has been roasting coffee since 2007, starting in Calgary before expanding their roasting operations in 2012. The company built its approach around sourcing beans directly and roasting with intention, rather than following whatever's trending in specialty coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOff Hours is their answer to the idea that decaf is an afterthought. It's roasted with the same attention as their caffeinated lineup, meant for anyone who wants a full cup of coffee without the buzz that comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDecaf gets a bad reputation, often as an afterthought for roasters, but I've found the opposite to be true at Rosso. Off Hours is proof that a coffee without caffeine doesn't mean a coffee without flavor. It's one I keep in my own rotation for evenings when I still want the ritual of a good cup.\u003cbr\u003e- Dean, Director of Coffee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Rosso is the last coffee roaster I subscribed to before starting Stillwater, a spot they earned with consistency. If you appreciate a well-balanced cup of coffee with sweetness and some subtle fruity notes, Rosso hits the mark again and again.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e- Dean, Director of Coffee\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45916197814332,"sku":null,"price":25.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/2880\/1852\/files\/24-Core-Off-Hours-Rb-Mock_c680116e-34b0-473a-bb7f-f78e50543759.png?v=1784822712","url":"https:\/\/stillwatercoffee.ca\/products\/off-hours","provider":"Stillwater Coffee Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
