Colombia Huila Decaf Excelso EA Process Coffee Beans

Colombia Huila Decaf Excelso SC14/16 EA Process Coffee Beans

This coffee comes from the Huila region of Colombia, Excelso grade with screen size 14/16, processed with the EA (Ethyl Acetate / sugarcane) decaffeination method. EA is a relatively gentle natural process that uses ethyl acetate derived from fermented sugarcane to selectively extract caffeine, removing about 97% while preserving as much of the original flavor structure as possible — one of the preferred decaf methods today.

After EA processing, the flavor remains classically Colombian and balanced: soft chocolate and nut aromas upfront, followed by caramel and brown sugar sweetness, finishing with light cocoa and creamy aftertaste. Acidity is low and gentle, with warm rounded sweetness and a smooth full body — ideal for evening drinking or caffeine-sensitive people while still delivering close-to-original flavor layers.

Rias champion team uses a medium-light to medium roast to preserve the sweetness and smoothness. Excellent in pour-over, cold brew, and espresso.
