Over 4000 Simbai farmers must bring their coffee to an airstrip; some farmers have a day’s journey from their farm to the airfields.

Why Decaf? Because, it contains vitamin B3,B2 and Potassium!  Also, you suffer no insomnia when enjoying it because the stimulating substance caffeine has been removed from the beans prior to roasting. Patients with cardiovascular conditions can drink coffee with no secondary effects like cardiac arrhythmia tachycardia. Improves the metabolism in the brain and helps patients with Diabetes II. Decaffeinated coffee aids in the digestive process, and is, in itself, easy to digest because the natural waxes have been stripped. Not to mention, it tastes good too!!

Ethyl Acetate (E.A.) process: This is a natural spring water – Ethyl Acetate (EA) combined process. This substance is naturally present in every coffee bean (as well as many fruits and vegetables), therefore no addition of foreign substances takes place. This substance is obtained from the sugar cane industry around Palmira, Colombia and no chemicals are added to the beans. The Decaf Plant works exclusively with this natural origin solvent and fresh spring water for their caffeine stripping process. The water-EA process allows for gentle caffeine extraction from the bean avoiding excessive heat and pressure thus retaining the natural structure of the coffee bean cells.

Cupping Notes:

On the nose, aroma of black tea and floral.

In the cup, peach sweetness, and grapefruit – lite acidity, flowery notes in finish, rich body reminiscent of burgundy wines.
