Divino niño decaf

We love the coffee industry’s growing attention to high quality decaf. Since the start we have been looking for great decaffeinated lots and have found some beautiful coffees along the way. 

Sugar cane decaffeination is often termed as a natural process decaf. Ethyl Acetate is an organically existing compound (C4H8O2) and by-product found most commonly in the fermentation of fruits and is present in both ripe bananas and beer for example. The EA process is relatively simple. The coffee beans are moistened with water and EA is circulated throughout. The EA binds with the caffeine in the bean and extracts the caffeine while leaving most of the other flavor compounds. After the desired caffeine level is reached, the EA residue on the beans is removed by steaming them. 

This community lot is very balanced with notes of cherry and chocolate. It has a high sweetness and makes an outstanding cappuccino.
