A decaf coffee worthy of the finest specialty brews. Expect bold notes of caramel, biscuits, and pastries, with a subtle citrus touch that lingers into a smooth, pleasant finish. How the process works This coffee is decaffeinated directly at origin by Colombian producers using a truly innovative method.Rather than traditional techniques such as methylene chloride or water-based decaffeination, this method uses ethyl acetate—a natural compound derived from fermented sugarcane. • The green coffee is first steamed for 30 minutes to open the pores of the beans and facilitate caffeine extraction. • The coffee is then soaked in a bath of water and ethyl acetate, the sugarcane-based solvent. • The caffeine naturally binds to the coffee’s chlorogenic acid salts and is drawn out into the solution. • This process is repeated several times over approximately 8 hours. • The beans are once again steamed to remove any trace of ethyl acetate. • Finally, the coffee is dried and prepped for roasting!
