Our decaf coffee is a blend comprised of a group of small producers, who are working under a sustainability program. This system takes the risk out of the lows of the market and ensures enough is paid to the producer. Over the last 5 years, this has consistently doubled the income of the smallholder farmer families working with the project. The goal is to achieve stable and sustainable prices for community coffee lots through improved quality control, shared knowledge, and a connection to the speciality coffee market. Raw built drying bed facilities and QC infrastructure at the community central hub in the town of El Carmen. Green coffee from Red Association is taken to Decscafecool, a decaffeination plant in Manizales. Using volcanic spring water and the organic compound ethyl acetate, which is derived from fermenting sugar cane, locally produced in Valle de Cauca. The green coffee is steamed to make it more porous, to help with absorption. As the beans swell, the process of seperation begins.The coffee is then places in a solution of ethyl acetate, several times until 97% of the caffeine in the coffee has been removed. The final stages are to steam clean, removing all of the remaining organic compounds. The decaffeinated coffee has something in the region of 30 parts of caffeine per million, which is a fraction of wha you would find in a banana.
