DECAF Sugarcane Colombia
A natural decaffeination, as sweet as sugarcane.
In the heart of Colombia, Descafecol has developed a unique decaffeination method—nature-inspired and designed to preserve the integrity of the coffee bean. Using ethyl acetate (EA) extracted from sugarcane molasses, this process gently and selectively removes caffeine without compromising the coffee’s sensory qualities.
The process begins with a steam treatment that opens the bean’s structure, allowing the natural solvent to penetrate. The EA is then applied in successive stages, selectively binding to the caffeine, which is subsequently removed along with the solvent. After a meticulous cycle of rinsing and drying under controlled conditions, the coffee is ready to be packed. The result? A decaf that remains true to its origin—deep, vibrant, and full of character.

100% chemical free — for real.
Unlike conventional methods, Descafecol relies solely on ethyl acetate of natural origin, produced locally through the fermentation of sugarcane by-products. This makes the process entirely free from synthetic chemicals.
No chlorinated solvents or artificial additives are used. Every step is designed to minimize environmental impact: the ethyl acetate is recovered and reused, contaminants are avoided, residue levels are strictly controlled (kept below 20 ppm), and the decaffeination is carried out directly at origin. This not only ensures quality and traceability, but also significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with transport and processing.
