Well we\u2019ve been saying you gotta try our E.A. decafs for a while now, and you don\u2019t need to worry about us at all: They really are that good. Like, 86 or 87 points good. Like sweet and tart fruit, lemon, apple, berry, and caramel flavors good.\u00a0Well, we\u2019ve got big news for decaf lovers and we don\u2019t want you to sleep on it: While we\u2019ve previously focused on Colombian coffees for this decaf process, we\u2019re thrilled to now offer E.A. decafs from other regions as well!<\/div>\n

E.A., short for \u201cethyl acetate,\u201d is a naturally derived ester that is found in fruit like bananas, and is a by-product of fermented sugar. It can be isolated and used as a solvent to bond with caffeine molecules in green coffee as a means of removing them without causing trauma to the seed structure or damaging the integrity of the coffee\u2019s flavor. It\u2019s a safe, effective, and special way to handle these coffees to achieve the best possible outcome: decaf you actually\u00a0want<\/i>\u00a0to drink. Over the past few years, Cafe Imports has partnered with a decaffeination lab in Colombia for our E.A. decafs, which are sourced at origin and sent for contracted decaffeination.<\/div>\n

The overwhelmingly positive response we\u2019ve received about our Colombian E.A.s (for instance, \u201cNo way that\u2019s a decaf,\u201d and, \u201cThis is the best decaf coffee I\u2019ve ever had!\u201d) has inspired us to expand the program to other coffees, and we\u2019ve just received our very first organic-certified E.A. decaf from Lima Coffees in Cajamarca, Peru\u2014possibly the first non-Colombian E.A. decaf in the world! This beautiful coffee maintains its profile of sweet and tart fruit acidity and a balance of chocolate with banana and graham flavors. Next on the docket is a Brazilian offering from South Minas Gerais, which will arrive in our U.S. warehouse later this spring.<\/div>\n
