VARIETY AND PROCESS
The decaffeination process is carried out in the city of Manizales using ethyl acetate naturally extracted from sugar cane.
The natural decaffeination process combines high mountain spring water and naturally occurring Ethyl Acetate (EO); the latter is present in all coffee beans in their natural state (as well as in many fruits and vegetables), so there is no addition of synthetic chemicals of any kind.
Natural EO is obtained by a process based on sugar cane and, together with mountain spring water, are the only elements with which the coffee comes into contact. This water-EA process allows for a gentle extraction of caffeine from the bean, avoiding excessive heat and pressure, thus maintaining the natural structure and characteristics of the coffee bean.
