Sariola - Light roast decaffeinated coffee

Sariola Light - Light roast decaffeinated coffee from Colombia

Nougat • Toffee • Wild strawberry • Nectarine

The light roast version of Sariola features notes of nougat, toffee, and wild strawberry, along with the sweetness of nectarine. The dark roast version brings out more intense flavors of chocolate and dark grape, with a slightly lighter sweetness.

Decaffeinated coffee is perfect for any time of day, and modern processing methods ensure that the coffee's characteristic flavors are preserved even after the caffeine is removed.

We recommend Sariola light roast for filter coffee.

Decaffeination process

The caffeine in Sariola is removed using the EA (ethyl acetate) method. The coffee beans are sorted and steamed for 30 minutes at low pressure, which prepares the coffee for decaffeination by opening its pores. The coffee is then 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 chlorogenic acid salts naturally present in the coffee. The tank is drained and refilled over eight hours until no more caffeine is detected. Finally, the coffee is dried and packed for shipping.
