Narrative

Colombia is home to a diverse range of coffee-growing regions, stretching from north to south along the three "Cordilleras," which are the northern extensions of the Andes Mountains. Most of the coffee, particularly from the southern region of Huila, is grown on small family farms. Huila has a rich history of coffee production and has recently gained recognition as one of the most sought-after coffee-growing regions in the world.

Ethyl acetate (E.A.) decaffeination is a natural process that preserves the integrity of green coffee's flavour. Ethyl acetate, a naturally occurring ester found in bananas and as a by-product of fermented sugars, is used as a solvent to bond with and remove caffeine from green coffee.

The process begins with sorting and steaming the coffee for 30 minutes under low pressure to open the pores of the coffee seeds, preparing them for decaffeination. The coffee is then immersed in a solution of water and ethyl acetate. The E.A. bonds with the salts of chlorogenic acids inside the seeds, effectively removing the caffeine. Over eight hours, the tank is repeatedly drained and refilled until no caffeine is detected.

Once decaffeination is complete, the coffee seeds are steamed again to remove any remaining ethyl acetate. Although E.A. is only harmful in extremely high concentrations (400 parts per million or more), this final step ensures safety. The coffee is then dried and polished, ready for export.

This Coffee Plants Trees

When you buy this product, mangrove trees are planted on your behalf in either Madagascar, Mozambique, or Kenya. This gives crucial income to local villagers so they can provide for their families.

Mangrove forests are essential coastal ecosystems. They store four times as much carbon as even tropical rainforest, making them an important tool to mitigate climate change.

The trees are planted by Eden Reforestation Projects.

          Great tasting Decaf!

          Timely Decaf proves that you don't need caffeine for a great-tasting coffee! I buy the beans, grind them fresh for each brew, and load up my trusty espresso machine. I doubt if anyone could pick it as anything other than a great regular espresso coffee. And of course it's good to know that it has been ethically sourced.
