Decaf Colombia

An amazing cup of decaf coffee! One of the sweetest and most balanced we’ve tasted, with notes of cocoa, melon, & citrus. We drink this day and night!

About Sugarcane Process: Our Colombian E.A. (ethyl acetate) decaf offerings are special in more ways than one: First, they're cupped specifically for their quality and sourced by single-origin, either region or farm. We call them Decaf De Caña because they're custom decaffeinated in Colombia, using a special, natural process that utilizes a solvent of ethyl acetate, which can be derived from fermented sugar. Cafe Imports staff has personally visited the decaffeination plant several times, and we are impressed by the process as well as the quality in the cup!

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.)

Crafted to appeal to a wide range of tastes and enjoyed any time of day, we selected two excellent coffees from South America.  We have cupped numerous combinations before finally settling on what we think is the perfect balance. This blend makes a great gift for someone who likes a classic, great cup of coffee. Perfect black, or with a dash of cream.
