Decaf De Caña, Colombia
Note: Blueberries, Caramel, Dark chocolate,
Region: Huila
Varietal: Castillo, Colombia, Caturra
Process: Washed, Ethyl Acetate (E.A.)
Decaf De Caña coffee is custom decaffeinated in Colombia, using a special, natural process that utilizes a solvent of ethyl acetate, which can be derived from fermented sugar.
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.
