Decaf

Decaf EA from Mexico

This coffee undergoes decaffeination using the Ethyl Acetate (EA) Natural Process, a gentle, effective method that preserves the coffee’s natural flavors. Ethyl Acetate, a naturally derived compound from fruits, vegetables, and sugarcane, is key to this process. The green beans are soaked prior to immersion in the EA solution where the compound bonds selectively with caffeine molecules, removing caffeine while retaining much of the coffee’s inherent flavours. Through controlled heating, EA is removed from the solution, and the beans are rinsed thoroughly. The beans are then re-dried to restore original moisture content, before being bagged for transport.
