A decaf that doesn’t compromise on flavor, using a natural sugarcane ethyl acetate (EA) decaffeinating process that preserves the coffee's sweetness and character while delivering a flavorful experience.
This medium-roast decaf comes from a collection of smallholder producers across Huila, Colombia, where the region's diverse elevations and microclimates create exceptional complexity in the cup.
It’s decaffeinated using a natural ethyl acetate (EA) process, a naturally occurring ester found in bananas and fermented sugarcane, used as a solvent to remove caffeine from green coffee. The beauty of the EA process is that it helps preserve the coffee's original flavors while adding fruity notes and complexity to the cup.
Milk chocolate, mandarin orange, stone fruit, and malt.
🌎 Origin: Colombia
