Decaf Colombia Excelso (Sugar Cane)

100% Naturally Decaffeinated Coffee – 99.7% Caffeine Free!

An outstanding decaf. Our Colombia decaf coffee uses an organic compound derived from sugar cane to remove the caffeine from the coffee bean.

The decaffeination process uses a mix of acetic acid (vinegar) and natural extract fermented from sugarcane juice.

The green coffee beans are steamed and then soaked in the sugarcane-derived solution in which caffeine is removed from the coffee beans. The coffee beans are then removed from the now caffeine-rich sugarcane solution.

What’s notable about this process is its sustainability. The extracted caffeine-ethyl acetate mixture can be processed to separate the caffeine from the ethyl acetate, making it possible to recycle and reuse the ethyl acetate for future decaffeination processes.
