Lights Out Decaf

This coffee comes from a group of 65+ producers in the lovely Suaza region in Colombia. We tasted this lot prior to decaffeination and it was super chocolatey, round and sweet. Then the coffee underwent EA (aka “sugarcane”) decaffeination in Colombia.

The ethyl acetate (EA) decaf process is a method that uses a naturally derived solvent from sugarcane to gently remove caffeine. The green coffee is steamed, soaked in the EA solution to extract caffeine, then steamed again to remove any residue. This approach preserves the coffee’s original character and is often referred to as “sugarcane” or “natural EA” decaf. It's a clean, sustainable method that delivers full flavour without the caffeine.
