Process Overview
- Selective harvesting of ripe cherries
- Sorting to remove defects
- Controlled anaerobic fermentation
- Careful drying and stabilization
- Sugarcane EA decaffeination
Carefully selected ripe cherries undergo controlled anaerobic fermentation, where oxygen is restricted to allow precise microbial activity. This stage develops fruit driven complexity while maintaining balance and structure.
After fermentation, the coffee is dried slowly to preserve aromatics and stabilize the profile. The coffee is then decaffeinated using the Sugarcane EA method, allowing caffeine removal while maintaining the distinctive characteristics of the Ombligon variety.
Sugarcane EA Decaf Explained
Sugarcane EA decaffeination uses ethyl acetate (EA) derived from fermented sugarcane to remove caffeine while preserving flavor compounds. Green coffee is first hydrated before being gently washed with EA, which bonds to caffeine molecules without significantly affecting sugars and aromatics.
After extraction, the coffee is steamed to remove any remaining EA and dried to stable moisture levels. This process helps preserve sweetness, body, and clarity while significantly reducing caffeine content.

Better Coffee, No Snobbery
We’re serious about flavor, not about fancy jargon. Great coffee that’s easy to enjoy. Simple as that.
These exotic roasting methods are new to me. The flavor of this coffee is very subtle and hard to describe. It didn't quite taste like any coffee I've drunk before and rather seductive. I intend to try some more of these strange decafs?
They will make you think different about drinking decaf. I have ordered 4 and all have been great!!! A lot of roasters do decaf as an option but don’t really care about it, this company does care and you can tell in the quality of the beans.
Thanks so much for the kind words. We really appreciate it.
Frequent has changed my outlook on decaf👌 Absolutely delicious from start to finish both espresso and filter. Juicy chocolate covered cherry with a hint of red wine!
Love to hear it! Thanks, Bryce 🙏
Thank you!
Very sweet and fruity, delicious specialty decaf coffee. I get chocolate, stone fruit, cherries, and a mild nuttiness. Mild, balanced acidity. Really wonderful!
Thanks, Daniel! We appreciate the kind words 😊
