About EA Decaffination Process
The coffee is decaffeinated using ethyl acetate from cane sugar, which keeps its sweetness and natural flavor. This decaf coffee undergoes a 48-hour fermentation process with whole coffee cherries and yeast (Saccharomyces pastorianus.) After this, the cherries are pulped and fermented for another 68 hours. The juices produced during the first fermentation are used again in the second fermentation. Finally, the coffee is washed and dried for 48 hours at a warm temperature.
