Gringo Nordic The Sleepy Gringo Decaf 250 g Coffee Beans

Sleepy Gringo offers an exclusive taste experience without caffeine.

The coffee comes from farms in the Huila region of Colombia. Several of the farms are small, but together they have created a lot that gives a score of 84-85 points on a quality scale (so-called Specialty Coffee). This makes it different from 99 % of all decaffeinated coffee produced, due to both its high quality and its transparency.

DECAF METHOD

This coffee was decaffeinated using the Ethyl Acetate (EA) decaffeination process. Ethyl acetate is produced by esterification between ethyl alcohol, which is derived from the fermentation of sugar cane, and acetic acid. The green coffee is submerged in a wash of water and ethyl acetate, during which the ethyl acetate bonds with the caffeine in the coffee and begins to extract it from the green seeds. The EA solution is flushed and the process is repeated until reaching a minimum decaffeination level of 97%. Finally, the green coffee is steamed to remove any remaining ethyl acetate from the seeds.

Through this natural method, the good taste of the coffee is retained, which is one of the reasons why we believe that this method is the method of the future for producing decaffeinated coffee.
