Decaffeinated in Colombia at Descafecol using the Ethyl Acetate method (created from sugarcane), this coffee keeps its original character almost entirely intact. It's well balanced, mild sweetness reminds us a bit of chocolate covered raisins. This coffee stands up well to cream and sugar and like all of our decaf coffee we highly recommend using a slightly coarser grind when brewing compared to our caffeinated coffee.

The EA process starts by gently steaming or soaking the green coffee to open the structure of the bean. Once expanded, the coffee is immersed in Ethyl Acetate, a naturally occurring compound found in fruits and vegetables. EA bonds with the caffeine molecules and pulls them away from the bean. After extraction, the coffee is rinsed thoroughly and dried, leaving the flavor intact while removing the caffeine.
