Decaf Colombia Huila

Flavor notes: Kahlua and cocoa with mild acidity and sweet.

This is a Decaf EA coffee and has been decaffeinated using Ethyl Acetate (E.A.). Ethyl Acetate is a non-chemical decaffeinating process. This process works by soaking green coffee in a bath of water and a solvent called ethyl acetate, which is naturally derived from fermented sugar, among other natural sources. The solvent bonds to the salts of chlorogenic acid within the coffee, which allows for the extraction of caffeine. The coffee is removed from its bath and steamed at low pressure to ensure no traces of E.A. are left, and the finished product is almost entirely free of any but the most trivial (0.1–0.3%) caffeine content.
