Colombia Decaf | Huila & Tolima, Fully washed Sugarcane decaf*

The Sugarcane method delivers dessert-like sweetness that overrules other decaffeination methods. This coffee pleases us with its delicate malic acidity and round creaminess that we seek for our decafs. 

Sugarcane decaffeination process

The Colombian sugarcane decaffeination method is our favorite for many reasons, blissful taste notes and extra sweetness being just two of them. The main ingredient of this method – ethyl acetate (E.A.) is an organic compound naturally found in fruit juices, cereals and sugarcane. 

This process begins with the fermentation of molasses derived from sugarcane to create ethanol. Ethanol is an alcohol that is afterwards mixed with acetic acid (the main component of vinegar) to generate the E.A., which then is used in the decaffeination process.
