Telila + Tokuma decaf

This decaf is a blend of 2 Ethiopian lots. Both coffees were sourced through our partner Osito and have been decaffeinated here in Europe with the same EA process that is used in Colombia. By blending the washed and natural process together, we created a super balanced decaf that is just fruity enough to be exciting with a hint of florals. Expect taste notes of dark chocolate and apricot.

EA decaffeination utilizes a naturally occurring compound(in the fermentation of sugarcane), ethyl acetate (EA) to decaffeinate coffee. 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.
