Big on flavour, low on anxiety levels. 

It’s taken us bloody long enough but here’s a decaf coffee that we actually like, sourced from Cafe Imports. The decaf offerings from Cafe Imports are cupped specifically for their quality and sourced by single-origin, either region or farm. They 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 were 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 flavour integrity but contains almost no caffeine at all. (The beans will contain a maximum of 0.01–0.03% caffeine.)

Sounds tricky. All you need to know, really, is that this is a very fine Colombian lot that won’t give you heart palpitations.
