Our previous lot, sourced from nearby Manizales, sold out completely — this replacement lot is decaffeinated using the same ethyl acetate sugarcane method, one of the most flavour-preserving natural decaffeination processes in specialty coffee, and it delivers a genuinely excellent decaf cup: cocoa, sugarcane sweetness, ripe fruit, banana, apple, and vanilla, with balanced medium citric acidity and a clean, rounded body. Grown across Castillo and Colombia varieties at 1,300 to 1,800 metres above sea level, this lot scored SCA 84.5 — squarely in the excellent specialty tier for any coffee, decaffeinated or not. 100% Arabica.

The EA sugarcane process alters the bean structure slightly, making decaf greens more porous and prone to faster surface development. Use a lower charge temperature than you would for a comparable caffeinated Colombian green, reduce airflow slightly in the drying phase, and watch development carefully — decaf beans can tip or scorch more easily at high temperatures.

Because the EA is produced from a natural agricultural byproduct rather than synthesised from petrochemicals, the process is widely regarded as one of the most natural and coffee-friendly decaffeination methods available. The green beans are steamed to open their pores, then washed repeatedly with the EA solution, which bonds selectively with caffeine molecules and draws them out of the bean. The beans are then steamed again to remove any residual EA, and dried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eThe key advantage of the EA sugarcane method over Swiss Water or CO2 decaffeination is flavour retention. The EA process is highly selective for caffeine and leaves the majority of the bean's aromatic compounds and sugars intact — which is why EA sugarcane decaf consistently outperforms other decaffeination methods at specialty cupping. Colombia is the natural home of this method because both the sugarcane and the coffee are produced domestically, making it an integrated and traceable process within the Colombian coffee supply chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- ABOUT THIS COFFEE --\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border: 0.5px solid #e0ddd8; border-radius: 12px; overflow: hidden;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"padding: 1rem 1.25rem; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; color: #1a1a1a; cursor: pointer; list-style: none; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between;\"\u003eAbout this coffee \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #888; font-weight: 400;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 1.25rem 1.25rem; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; color: #1a1a1a;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1rem;\"\u003eThis lot is sourced from Chinchina, a municipality in the Caldas department that sits within Colombia's Eje Cafetero, the historic coffee heartland of the country and neighbour to the Manizales area our previous decaf lot came from.

The new lot comes from Chinchina, a neighbouring municipality within the same Caldas department and Eje Cafetero coffee region, decaffeinated using the identical EA sugarcane method. Flavour notes have shifted slightly with the new crop — cocoa, sugarcane, ripe fruit, banana, apple, and vanilla — but the process, quality standard, and specialty-grade EA decaffeination that made the previous lot exceptional carry through unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 0.25rem;\"\u003eWhat is EA sugarcane decaffeination and is it natural?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1rem;\"\u003eEthyl acetate (EA) sugarcane decaffeination uses ethyl acetate produced from the fermentation of Colombian sugarcane molasses — a natural agricultural byproduct — rather than petrochemical synthesis. The EA solution selectively extracts caffeine from the green bean while leaving the majority of aromatic compounds and sugars intact. After decaffeination the beans are steamed to remove residual EA and dried. Because the solvent is derived from sugarcane rather than a synthetic source, this method is widely accepted in the specialty coffee industry as a natural decaffeination process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 0.25rem;\"\u003eHow do I roast decaf green coffee differently from regular green coffee?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1rem;\"\u003eDecaf green coffee is more porous than caffeinated green because the decaffeination process opens the bean structure. This means decaf absorbs heat faster and develops more quickly in the roaster. Use a lower charge temperature than you would for a comparable caffeinated Colombian green, keep airflow moderate during drying, and watch development time carefully. First crack on decaf is often quieter and less defined — rely on temperature and time rather than sound alone. Drop earlier than you think necessary on your first roast and adjust from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 0.25rem;\"\u003eHow should I store this green coffee?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eStore in a cool, dry place away from direct light and moisture. Green coffee is stable for 12 to 18 months in correct storage conditions. Decaf green coffee is generally somewhat less shelf-stable than caffeinated green due to the structural changes from decaffeination. We ship all our green coffee in 9 layer hermetic Ecotact bags to preserve moisture content and the aromatic character of this lot between roasting sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e","brand":"United Beans","offers":[{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":54002768085275,"sku":null,"price":18.91,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 lb - $17.6 per lb | save 5%","offer_id":54002768118043,"sku":null,"price":44.9,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 lb - $16.07 per lb | save 15%","offer_id":54002768150811,"sku":null,"price":160.7,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 lb - $13.23 per lb | save 30%","offer_id":54002768183579,"sku":null,"price":198.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 lb - $12.29 per lb | save 35%","offer_id":54002768216347,"sku":null,"price":368.65,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"For wholesale green coffee contact us","offer_id":54002768249115,"sku":null,"price":12.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/2403\/1515\/files\/Ethiopia_Sidamo_Hube_natural_process_green_coffee_beans.png?v=1781194075","url":"https:\/\/unitedbeans.ca\/products\/colombia-sugarcane-ea-decaf-chinchina","provider":"United Beans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
