Drying

Chamber dried

This coffee is decaffeinated using an organic compound known as ethyl acetate (EA), which is a natural byproduct of sugarcane refinery. EA preserves the inherent flavor of green coffee, while functioning as a solvent. The process begins when the coffee is placed in steam chambers to remove its silverskin, a thin layer of natural material covering the bean. The coffee is then submerged in spring water until it becomes saturated. Next, as the coffee has contact with EA over the course of 8 hours, the caffeine content is dissolved. After this, the coffee is dried in chambers until it returns to its moisture content before the decaffeination process.

This coffee was selected by our roasting team for its nuanced sweetness. It is sugar forward, with sweet chocolate and caramel notes. There is a subtle acidity and soft dried fruit notes. Additionally, we appreciate that this coffee has higher traceability than previous decaf offerings we have sourced. We are proud to share this 65-farmer lot with you!

FAQs

Shipping Information

We operate Monday-Friday and strive to ship your order within 2 business days of the order or renewal date (not including weekends.) Your order will be shipped by UPS or USPS to your door. You will receive a tracking notification when your order ships.

Roasting Information

All coffee is roasted fresh to order on our Loring S35 Kestrel Coffee Roaster. All bags are stamped with the roast date, and we think coffee tastes best if consumed within 2-4 weeks. However, if left whole bean and stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, the coffee can remain enjoyable for up to 4-6 months, depending on the bag or container. Most of our coffee is roasted to a medium or light/medium roast level, except for All Day, which is our staple dark roast offering.
