About Peaks Coffee Co Colombia Sugarcane Decaf

Over the past few months, we have been tasting more and more decaffeinated coffees. The water process decaf coffees have always imparted a barbeque like taste. Our dear friends at Café Imports sent us a sugarcane decaf, also know as the natural decaffeination process, and we were blown away. This process starts by fermenting molasses derived from the sugarcane plant (grown in Colombia), to create ethanol (you can find this in most of the adult beverages you may or may not enjoy!). Taking the ethanol, they mix it with acetic acid to create ethyl acetate. You find ethyl acetate in many foods and beverages that you enjoy. First, the beans are steamed to open the coffees pores. Using water vapor, they elevate the moisture content and thus the swelling the bean in order to facilitate the extraction. A ethyl acetate wash is completed to remove the caffeine. The coffee is then cleaned once again, dried, and then refrigerated, bagged, and exported. This is truly a unique decaf and we can’t wait to share it with you all.

We’re on a mission to meet people in their peaks and valleys, with coffee as our catalyst to build relationships and impact others. Our core belief that life is about enjoying the peaks and enduring the valleys. If you connect with this, stop by for a cup of coffee and conversation. We are Peaks. Built int the valley.
