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","brand":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"12oz","offer_id":52825333662009,"sku":"BWSO-HaN-EA12","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":52825333694777,"sku":"BWSO-HaN-EA02","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":52825333727545,"sku":"BWSO-HaN-EA05","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2988\/2574\/files\/HambelaNaturalEADecaf_onlinecard_4x_0890ee71-5040-44ce-832c-509bb2201963.png?v=1777475926","url":"https:\/\/www.blackwhiteroasters.mom\/products\/r-hambela-natural-ea-decaf","provider":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
