Sariola - Dark roast decaffeinated coffee

Sariola Dark - Dark roast decaffeinated coffee from Colombia

Chocolate • Dark grape • Sweet

The dark roast version of Sariola features notes of chocolate, dark grape, and a light sweetness. The light roast version, on the other hand, highlights flavors of nougat, toffee, and wild strawberry.

Decaffeinated coffee is perfect for any time of day, and modern processing methods have made it possible to preserve the coffee's characteristic flavors even after the caffeine is removed.

We recommend the Sariola dark roast for filter brewing methods as well as for espresso.

Decaffeination process

The caffeine in Sariola is removed using the EA method. The coffee beans are sorted and steamed for 30 minutes at low pressure, which prepares the coffee for decaffeination by opening its pores. After this, the coffee is placed in a solution of water and ethyl acetate. EA is a naturally occurring compound and solvent, obtained as a byproduct of fermentation. The solution binds to the salts of chlorogenic acids naturally present in the coffee. The tank is drained and refilled over eight hours until no caffeine is detected. Finally, the coffee is dried and packed for shipping.
