The E.A. process includes soaking the unroasted coffee in a solution of water and Ethyl Acetate (E.A.). Ethyl Acetate begins with sugar cane that is turned into molasses. The molasses is then fermented to create ethanol and processed with acetic acid to create the Ethyl Acetate that will be used in the extraction of caffeine. Ethyl Acetate is used extensively in food and is known for bringing a fruity flavor to: hard candy, chewing gum, ice cream, and other products. It can also be naturally occurring in fruits (pineapple, berries, apples, and pears), and is a key to the flavor of rum. The unroasted, green coffee is soaked in the E.A. solution which bonds to the caffeine, extracting it out of the bean. Once all the caffeine is removed, the bean is steamed to remove residual E.A., and voila! You’ve got decaf!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular coffee is grown in La Unión, Nariño, Colombia which is a diverse region in the southwestern corner of Colombia. Coffee production and farming in Nariño is predominantly done by smallholder producers and La Unión has become a key area to optimize transportation and accessibility to directly purchase parchment from producers around northern Nariño. The coffees used for this lot are all fully washed, picked during the day, and pulped in the afternoon on each of the individual farms before the decaf processing happens at Descafecol in Manizales, Colombia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve selected this coffee as one of our decaf options because of its meticulous cultivation and decaffeination. We’ve roasted it to bring out its best qualities and to suit a great many taste buds. What we offer you is a coffee with contemporary flavors, but with a deep and surprising complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Methodical Coffee","offers":[{"title":"12 oz","offer_id":3609445302301,"sku":"COLCD-WB-12OZ","price":22.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":18408446722144,"sku":"COLCD-WB-2LB","price":51.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":5522985287709,"sku":"COLCD-WB-5LB","price":123.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/1015\/files\/sunset_c9cb524e-4c08-4afe-a06e-69b7a1b060fc.jpg?v=1751651489"},{"product_id":"collection-sample-box","title":"Methodical Collection Sample Box","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe perfect gift for the lover of coffee.
