First, coffee cherries are handpicked throughout Hambela at peak ripeness and delivered to a drying station for traditional Ethiopian natural processing. Then, they make the voyage to Bremen, Germany, where they undergo \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea fascinating and confusing science experiment known as Ethyl Acetate Decaffeination (EAD). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe TLDR: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea sugar alcohol byproduct is used as a solvent to help dissolve the caffeine out of the coffee as it is steamed. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAKE A SIP |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDecaf drinkers won't be surprised by this, but we should probably mention one thing at the jump: this coffee might \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elook \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea little different right out of the bag.

We've tasted and featured some delicious examples, and this is easily one of our favorites. It has great acidity (especially for a decaf!) and showcases its original natural processing beautifully. Red stone fruit, like cherries, mingle with a lovely peach note in the fruit department. The sweetness is tall, dark, and handsome like molasses, and the texture is smooth and rich, like milk chocolate. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGuji, Ethiopia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emultiple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNatural, then EA Decaffeination\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emixed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-f2c60db7-7fff-fae8-826f-b067d8361b32\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElevation | \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e2000 MASL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BLACK \u0026 WHITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46627452453063,"sku":"46627452453063","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/7414\/8551\/files\/HambelaNaturalEADecaf_Brewcardonline_4x_39320c9f-c73b-45b4-939f-ccc3a7a13d6a_png.webp?v=1780755644","url":"https:\/\/kickavecoffee.com\/products\/black-white-ea-decaf-340g","provider":"Kick Ave Coffee Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
