Decaf - Colombia

In Colombia, where sugarcane is bountiful, high-scoring micro lots are soaked in a natural extract derived from fermented sugarcane and naturally occurring acetic acid to remove the caffeine, a process lasting 10-12 hours. After this, the beans are cleaned and re-dried for 36 hours. This process avoids the high heat and pressure of other methods which can be detrimental to the end flavor of the beans.
