The Sugarcane Decaffeination process is a natural process that not only maintains the integrity of the coffee flavor while allowing for greater transparency and efficiency. These coffees are grown, processed, dried, and decaffeinated all within a relatively small area within the producing country. This keeps transportation and taxation costs lower as the coffee does't have to move in and out of multiple countries.  

Processing: Colombian Sugar Cane process more technically known as EA has dramatically changed the landscape of decaf coffee within the specialty market.  These coffees offer greater transparency, faster turn arounds, and most importantly improved flavor  complexity. Since Colombia is vertically integrated having the decaffeination plant in country it saves time, and ensures that coffees arrive fresher to us and therefore our customers. 

For the last 2 years, we have worked with our exporting partners to source year-round amazing Sugarcane Process decaffeinated coffees. We are proud of the quality of decaf coffees, the cup speaks for itself.
