Ethiopia Decaf M/C

Our Ethiopia Decaf M/C is cooperatively grown in the surrounding towns of the city of Djimma. It is a traditional dry process Ethiopian, but the beans are bit smaller in size than most, due to the decaf process which accounts for a small percentage of weight/moisture loss. This Ethiopia Decaf is grown at altitudes between 4,400 and 6000 feet, and produces a nice cup with a slight earthiness, good acidity and a medium body.

& Brew Methods

Slight earthiness, good acidity, medium body.

Decaffeinated coffees are notoriously difficult to roast due to their unique cell structure, composition and moisture content as a result of the decaf process. Roasters should be mindful of drum temperatures as decafs have the tendency to develop significantly faster than non-decaf coffees; this should always be taken into consideration when roasting decaf coffees like this Ethiopia Decaf M/C, as well as our other specialty green decaf offerings.

It is a four-step process whereby green, unroasted coffee is steamed and soaked with clean water to loosen the cell structure, enabling the caffeine to diffuse out of the bean into the M/C solvent. The wet beans are then contacted with M/C and the caffeine is extracted. The beans then undergo additional soaking and steaming to remove any residual caffeine and M/C. Finally, the decaffeinated coffee is then thoroughly dried to return its moisture content to optimal levels before being packed and shipped. After the process is complete, any remaining M/C is considered negligible due to the fact that it vaporizes at 104° F, and roasting occurs at temperatures exceeding 400° F.
