Buonasera (Good Evening) - Our Medium-Dark Roast Decaf hails from Honduras. The full, fruity & nutty flavor mimics regular coffee providing the perfect cup for a nice evening on the porch. These beans are decaffeinated by using the E.A. Deaf* Process. Characteristics Dark Raisin | Cocoa | Smooth About The E.A. Deaf Process: The Ethyl Acetate (E.A.) the decaffeination method is a process used to remove caffeine from coffee beans. In this method, coffee beans are soaked in water to extract caffeine and other soluble compounds. The water-caffeine mixture is then combined with ethyl acetate, a naturally occurring solvent used to dissolve the caffeine. The caffeine is then separated from the coffee solution, leaving decaffeinated coffee beans. The ethyl acetate is then evaporated, leaving decaffeinated coffee free of caffeine. This method is considered less harmful than other decaffeination methods and is often used in “natural” decaffeination processes because ethyl acetate is found in many fruits, including bananas and apples.
