It tastes of cherry and cocoa, and is very soluble and easy to work with. Huila, Colombia In this decafeination process, sugarcane molasses is fermented to create ethanol, and then mixed with acetic acid to create Ethyl Acetate (EA). The coffee is steamed which opens the pores, and allows for the extraction of caffeine molecules. From there, it’s placed into an ethyl acetate solution where it bonds to the salts of chlorogenic acid inside the beans. When the coffee is fully saturated, the solution is drained and refilled until 97% or more of the caffeine is removed. Sugarcane is widely available in Colombia, and the decaffeination plant - Descafecol - gets their sugarcane from farms in the town of Palmira in the Valle del Cauca Department, west of Huila.
