About
This coffee is produced by selected farms in Popayan region. The dry parchment ( greens post processing ) is later milled at Popayan and transported to Caldas to be decaffeinated.
The caffeine is extracted from the bean using sugar cane and water which enhances sweetness, while maintaining coffee attributes. You may of heard of Ethyl Acetate ( EA ) process. EA is a natural compound derived from cane sugar that can be found in fruits and other foods. Being derived from sugar, EA bonds to chlorogenic acids found in caffeine. When EA bonds to chlorogenic acids, the separation of the caffeine from the coffee bean begins.
