Brandywine Coffee Roasters

DECAF - Mexico - Esmeralda - EA Decaf

This Mexico Esmeralda decaf is processed using the Ethyl Acetate (EA) method, where green beans are steamed to open their structure before being soaked in EA—a naturally occurring compound found in fruits and vegetables—to selectively extract caffeine while preserving flavor compounds. The natural processing contributes body and fruit-forward character, yielding brown sugar sweetness and cherry notes in the cup. EA decaffeination is gentler than some alternatives, making this a compelling choice for those seeking caffeine-free coffee without sacrificing complexity or origin character.
