Colombia SugarCane Decaf Transparency Report
Isaias Vargas EA Decaf de Caña — Huila, Colombia
This Colombian decaf is designed for people who want the comfort, flavor, and ritual of coffee with significantly less caffeine. It is a great option for afternoon or evening drinking, for anyone reducing caffeine intake, or for coffee lovers who are more sensitive to caffeine’s effects.
The coffee comes from Huila, Colombia, where it was grown at elevations between 1,400 and 2,000 meters. It includes Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia varieties and was processed using the washed method to create a clean, balanced cup.
Caffeine was removed in Colombia through the EA Decaf de Caña process. Ethyl acetate is a naturally occurring compound found in fruit and produced during sugar fermentation. The green coffee is gently steamed, placed in a solution of water and ethyl acetate, and repeatedly rinsed until the caffeine is removed. It is then steamed again, dried, and prepared for export.
This process preserves much of the coffee’s natural sweetness and flavor. In the cup, expect comforting notes of toffee and praline, supported by mild citrus, dried melon, tart acidity, and candy-like sweetness.
It is a satisfying choice when you want great coffee without the full caffeine load.
