Traitement: Decaffeinated with ethyl acetate

Our EA DE CAÑA decaf is the result of an innovative process developed in Colombia. Rather than being extracted by soaking or by adding various chemical solvents, the caffeine is removed by introducing ethyl acetate, a natural solvent resulting from the fermentation of sugar cane.

Processing

The green beans are selected based on quality and soaked in ethyl acetate, which binds to the chlorogenic acid salts in the coffee. This chemical process decaffeinates the beans, which are then steam-cooked to remove all traces of the solvent. The beans retain their flavor and contain only 0.01 - 0.03% of their natural caffeine content.

In the cup, you'll find notes of graham cracker, cocoa, caramel, and citrus.
