- About this Coffee:
Marmalade Decaf honors a cherished neighborhood in Salt Lake City and is roasted to perform well across all brewing methods.
The Tolima department contributes a substantial 12% to Colombia's overall coffee production, establishing it as the nation's third-largest producer.
The decaffeination process for this green coffee uses ethyl acetate (EA), a natural solvent derived from sugar cane, after the fruit has been removed via a washed process.
This meticulous methodology begins by steaming the green coffee to open their cellular pores. Next, the beans are immersed in ethyl acetate, which binds to and extracts the caffeine molecules through the cell membrane. Finally, the beans are steamed again to remove any trace of the solvent.
Marmalade Decaf maintains a clean and classic Colombian profile, showcasing sweet notes of brown sugar and a creamy mouthfeel, complemented by a delicate, bright orange zest that cuts through the richness.
