Decaf Regional Single Origin

Our regional coffee goes through a Sugar Cane process to leave its caffeine content in Colombia before starting its journey to Ireland. Ethyl Acetate, already present in coffee, fruits and vegetables happens to be very good at removing caffeine, so we combine natural Ethyl Acetate coming from sugar cane with high mountain spring water, to gently remove the caffeine from our regional coffee while keeping within the bean for all those beautiful flavours we all love and enjoy

It's definitely not your regular decaf!
