Decaffeination: Ethyl Acetate (aka Sugarcane)
1. Green coffee beans are first exposed to steam so as to enlarge surface pores to facilitate the process of extracting the caffeine.
2. Following which, they are then placed in a tank containing naturally-extracted ethyl acetate (from raw sugarcane) and spring water.
3. The caffeine is then stripped away by the ethyl acetate and this process continues until all the caffeine content is completely removed.
4. Once the caffeine content is removed, the beans are then subjected to another round of steam treatment to remove any residual ethyl acetate.
