Sugarcane EA Decaf

Producer: Elias and Shady Bayter

Farm: El Vergel

Variety: Caturra

Process: Natural

Region: Tolima

Elevation: 1450m

Harvest: March-June 2024

The Bayter brothers grow coffee over 100 hectares of land at their estate El Vergel in Fresno, Tolima. In 2018 they started to experiment with natural processed coffees, where the coffee is dried with the seed within the fruit (its more common to produce washed specialty coffees in Colombia). The natural process encourages coffees with a bigger body and more fruity flavours - as well as notes of cherry and coconut, we get a hint of tropical fruits when brewing this coffee.

The coffee undergoes natural processing at El Vergel before being transported to Descafecol, just a short distance away in the neighbouring department of Caldas. Here it undergoes Sugarcane EA decaffeination. The resultant coffee is 99.9% caffeine free - a reduction in caffeine of approximately 90%.

Arabica coffee typically contains 1.4-1.6% caffeine by weight and decaffeination can remove most but not all of the caffeine.

The Sugarcane EA Decaffeination Process

1. Steaming
The raw coffee undergoes steaming to increase its porosity.
2. Soaking and Washing
The coffee beans are placed in tanks with spring water and Ethyl Acetate (EA) derived from the fermentation of sugarcane.
3. Caffeine Extraction
The caffeine bonds to the EA molecules, and the liquid in the tank is repeatedly refreshed. The process continues until sufficient caffeine has been removed from the beans.
4. Final Steaming and Drying
The beans are removed from the tanks for a final steam removing residual traces of EA. The coffee is then dried and bagged ready for shipping.

What our customers say about our Decaf coffees

Decaf Colombia Excelso

I’ve always drank Colombia coffee and this decaf one is perfect! I can now enjoy it without the caffeine! It is great that Calm Coffee Rostery is focusing on coffees with less caffeine and the graphics are brilliant!

Excellent service and product

Ordered for pick up but received free delivery with a personal message from Will. Great coffee will happily use again

Sensational

As a new mum I try a lot of decaf coffee! When this option was advertised to me on a late night scroll I bought it an thought nothing more of it. Until it arrived... this could be the best decaf ever. It tastes even better than it smells and it smelt delicious. I don't really want to leave this review because I don't want it to ever go out of stock!
It came quickly, which is an added extra!

Great decaf with rich flavour

A great decaf that has a rich, smooth flavour. Tastes fresh and like normal caffeinated coffee. I enjoyed mine as a long black and also with milk in an iced latte.

A decaf I look forward to drinking

Never thought I’d find it but this is a decaf coffee I really enjoy. Only complaint is I drink so much of it i wish it was sold in bigger bags!
