Coffee Process

Process

Washed & Ethyl Acetate

Varietal

Caturra, Castillo, Colombia, Catimor, Catuai, San Ramon, Villa Sarchi

Elevation

1,400-2,200 masl

The E.A. process includes soaking the un-roasted coffee in a solution of water and Ethyl Acetate (E.A.). Ethyl Acetate begins with sugar cane that is turned into molasses. The molasses is then fermented to create ethanol and processed with acetic acid to create the Ethyl Acetate that will be used in the extraction of caffeine. The un-roasted, green coffee is soaked in the E.A. solution which bonds to the caffeine, extracting it out of the bean. Once all the caffeine is removed, the bean is steamed to remove residual E.A., leaving a decaffeinated green coffee ready for roasting.

PRODUCER

Risaralda, Caldas, Quindio and La Unión

Region

Huila & Chiapas

Unwind combines two decaf lots from Colombia. One comes from small farms in the coffee triangle and is decaffeinated via the Mountain Water Process in Mexico, using a natural solution and reverse osmosis. The other is from La Unión, Nariño, where smallholders grow and process fully washed coffees that are later decaffeinated using the Ethyl Acetate method at Descafecol in Manizales.

FAQ

When will my order ship?

Freshness is critical to fully enjoying coffee. We roast to order to ensure your coffee is at peak freshness when it arrives. We roast to order and ship Monday-Thursday. Orders are usually fulfilled the production day after they are placed (for example, orders placed on Monday will ship on Tuesday). Orders placed Thursday-Sunday will be fulfilled and shipped on Monday.
Can my coffee be ground?

By you? Yes. By us, sadly, no. Currently, we can only ship whole-bean coffee.
What if my package is delayed?

Sometimes our shipping partners experience delays due to weather, heightened demand, technical issues, pandemics, or aliens. All of which is out of our hands, except the aliens, but that's not for here.

If your package is delayed, let us know and we'll track it down and escalate its delivery. If it's delayed more than 2 weeks past the shipment date, and your order includes coffee, we'll either refund your money or ship you fresh coffee at no cost.
Can this item be returned?
