Sunset Decaf

This coffee may lack caffeine, but it’s bright and fruity with citrusy flavor notes that are balanced by a deep, rich sweetness. Sunset, previously known as Colombia EA Decaf, is processed using the E.A. method, a natural process which maintains the coffee's integrity during decaffeination. The E.A. process includes soaking the unroasted coffee in a solution of water and Ethyl Acetate (E.A.). Ethyl Acetate may sound a bit scary, but it’s quite natural. Its creation 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 in food pretty extensively 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
