97%-99% of the caffeine present in coffee is removed by the decaffeination process. Not all decaffeination processes are kind to the environment, however Equator selects beans that are primarily decaffeinated by water process. These processes are eco-friendly and produce a good, clean flavor.
DECAF COLOMBIA Las Serranias
Crop: 2009 Region: Huila Micro region: San Agustin, Pitalito Producer: Descafecol Altitude: 1500-1800 meters Varietals: Many Profile: Our first foray into pre-selected, almost “micro-lot” decaffeinated offerings. In the nose this coffee smells like chocolate covered cherry, with the addition of banana-like notes. Very unusual and satisfying. Natural Decaf process.
PRICE: $14.95 / lb
DECAF SUMATRA
Water Process Region: Mandheling Profile: When sourcing this coffee, we look for the traditional Sumatra profile: heavy bodied, low-toned with an earthy, spicy, slightly fruity character. Overall, exhibits a pleasing complexity.
