For best results we would always recommend purchasing whole bean and grinding fresh before brewing. If you don't have a grinder, we can grind according to your preferred brewing method just before shipping.

This coffee will suit most brewing methods from espresso and stove-top to aero press and cafetieres. Expect full body and syrupy mouthfeel. Will work well with various amounts of milk too.

Also known as E.A.  - “ethyl acetate” decaffeination is a natural process that not only maintains great integrity of green-coffee flavour, but also allows us to offer a decaffeinated coffee that best supports a vertical supply chain. This is due to the fact that the growing, processing, and even the full decaffeination process all happens at the source in Colombia, meaning all value added by these processes stays within the country of origin and its communities.

How does it work:
The washed and dried green coffee is received at the decaffeination plant and it is steamed for approx. 30 minutes.  A low-pressure steaming process opens the pores of the coffee, allowing for caffeine extraction.

Coffee is placed in a solution of water and Ethyl Acetate (E.A.), a naturally occuring compound and solvent derived through the fermentation of sugarcane. While submerged in the solvent, E.A. naturally bonds to the salts of chlorogenic acids within the coffee, allowing for the extraction of caffeine.

Once the solvent is saturated, the tank is drained and fresh solution is introduced. This continues for about 8 hours.

After the last of the caffeine has been extracted, the coffee is removed from the solution and prepped for another steaming. The final low-pressure steaming removes the remaining traces of E.A.

Decaffeinated coffee is then dried, physically polished to ensure cleanliness, and packaged for export.
