    Sugarcane Decaf process uses a naturally occurring compound called Ethyl Acetate (EA) to decaffeinate coffee. Colombia is one of the world's largest producers of sugarcane and EA is a natural byproduct of the sugarcane fermentation process.

    The coffee beans are moistened with water and EA. The EA binds with the caffeine in the bean and extracts the caffeine while leaving most of the other flavor compounds. The EA residue is then removed from the beans using steam.

    Sugarcane Decaf removes at least 97% of the caffeine from the green coffee beans.
