Roaster's Word:

"For the decaffeination process, high mountain spring water and ethyl acetate extracted from sugar cane molasses are used. It is a selective solvent for caffeine, which is present in nature (in yellow fruits such as bananas). It has two major drawbacks: it is highly flammable and has a characteristic odor at its base (sweetish). Its treatment is therefore quite delicate, which affects production costs and, normally, gives the coffee treated with this extractive mixture a different smell and slightly alters the flavor. This decaffeination process guarantees a minimum caffeine extraction of 97% and a solvent residual of maximum 20 PPM. The humidity is 11%."
