Through a unique and eco-friendly method, we extract caffeine from premium beans using ethyl acetate derived from sugar cane, preserving the coffee's natural flavors and aromas.
The process is also known as Ethyl Acetate (E.A.) decaffeination. Ethyl Acetate is a naturally occurring ester present in a number of fruits as well as during the fermentation stage of processing sugar cane into granulated sugar
This natural ester acts as a solvent that bonds naturally to caffeine molecules, so coffee seeds are steamed and soaked in a solution of water and ethyl acetate until no caffeine is detectable, then the coffee seeds are rinsed until there are no remaining traces of ethyl acetate
