This coffee was grown in the Risaralda department of Colomiba, between 1,200 and 1,900 meters above sea level in sandy and clay soil. The coffee is fully washed and dried either on patios or on raised beds.
Ethyl Acetate (EA) is a naturally occurring sugar found in many fruits and is a byproduct of fermented sugar. It is used to decaffeinate coffee through use as a solvent to bond with and remove caffeine from unroasted coffee. Through a process of steaming and low pressure, the EA bonds with the caffeine molecules over the course of eight hours before having one last steam to remove any trace of the EA. This process tends to allow the coffee to maintain its flavor.
