COLOMBIA HUILA DECAF

Good DECAF does exist, and we are so excited to offer this coffee from the Huila region of Colombia!

This coffee is decaffeinated using a natural process that utilizes a solvent of ethyl acetate, which can be derived from fermented sugar. We're impressed by the process, as well as the quality!

"The process works by soaking green coffee in a solution of E.A., which bonds to the salts of chlorogenic acid in the coffee and allows for the removal of caffeine. The coffee is removed from the solvent and steamed at low pressure to remove the E.A. compounds, and the finished product retains its flavor integrity but contains almost no caffeine at all. (The beans will contain a maximum of 0.01–0.03% caffeine.)"
