Information
Colombia Sugarcane Decaf
A first for York Coffee Emporium, and a decaffeination process we are keen to support, this is an exceptional decaf coffee that maintains the original flavour profile with an added mild sweetness.
This method allows the coffee to be processed close to the washing stations and avoids the added transportation miles of others, it is a much more gentle process which is evident in the taste.
Notes of Toffee, Brown Sugar and Honey, the best of Columbian coffee without the caffein hit.

Farmers and Community:
95% of the coffee in this region comes from small producers who live and work in farms of 5 hectares in size or less. Coffee is handpicked, depulped using traditional machinery and fermented in tanks before being washed and laid out to sun dry.
Processing:
Once the coffee is sourced, Colsuaves works with Descafecol, to have the beans decaffeinated. Descafecol uses a natural decaffeination process which combines high mountain spring water and Ethyl Acetate (EA) of natural origin. This natural EA, obtained from sugar cane, together with spring water, are the only elements used in the process. This water-EA process allows for the gentle extraction of caffeine from the beans, avoiding excessive heat or pressure, while maintaining their natural structure. The result: Colombian coffee with all its desirable characteristics, that is 99.9% caffeine-free.
