Coffee Details

Let's face it, we aren't usually fans of decaf. But after tasting this Sugar Cane process lot from Finca San Luis our minds were blown! Sugar Cane E.A. processing uses ethyl acetate, a product made by fermenting molasses that comes from sugar cane, to dissolve caffeine from green coffee. This natural method allows the coffee to retain its beautiful flavor characteristics and rich body. Lovely notes of raisin, chocolate and root beer permeate the cup, with a pleasant hint of roastiness.

When evaluating such complex flavor profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify specific nuances. As with many coffees from Colombia, the quality of the raw material remains paramount, ensuring that even after the decaffeination process, the cup maintains a structured and satisfying presence that appeals to those seeking a full-bodied experience without the stimulant.
