The Story

Fancy another cup of Joe without the jitters? That's what our Sugarcane decaf is for. Sourced from the same producing partners where our BS1 comes from. You won't be able to tell the difference between these beans and a full blown caffeine dose of coffee! Okay, you might, but it's a damn fine tasty coffee anyway. With the type of decaffeination processing we believe best preserves the natural flavours of the coffee it was before; The Sugarcane or Ethyl Acetate (EA) decaffeination process.

Ethyl acetate is produced by esterification between ethyl alcohol, which is derived from the fermentation of sugar cane, and acetic acid. The green coffee is submerged in a wash of water and ethyl acetate, during which the ethyl acetate bonds with the caffeine in the coffee and begins to extract it from the green seeds. The EA solution is flushed and the process is repeated until reaching a minimum decaffeination level of 97%. Finally, the green coffee is steamed to remove any remaining ethyl acetate from the seed
