Sugarcane Extraction

Sugarcane decaf is often referred to as naturally decaffeinated coffee, due to the use of natural and organic materials to extract the caffeine. During the process, sugarcane (an abundant crop in Colombia) is fermented into molasses to create ethanol, which is mixed with acid to create an E.A compound. E.A is naturally found in wine, beer, fruit, and other foods and beverages. After the green coffee beans are soaked in water and steamed, they are washed with the compound, dissolving the caffeine. The beans are then washed again with water before being dried, preserving the full integrity of favor and resulting in an unparalleled, caffeine-less final product.
