Cacao Nibs

A sweet and delicious coffee with melon, cocoa and citrus flavours gently decaffeinated using the natural sugarcane process. We call it Sugarcane Decaf because it’s custom decaffeinated in Colombia, using a special, natural process that utilises ethyl acetate (E.A.) derived from fermented sugar cane.

What is Sugarcane Decaf?

Our Colombian Sugarcane decaf offering is special in more ways than one: First, it’s been cupped specifically for its quality and sourced by single-origin, either region or farm. We call it Sugarcane Decaf because it’s custom decaffeinated in Colombia, using a special, natural process that utilises ethyl acetate (E.A.) derived from fermented sugar cane.

The process works by soaking steamed green coffee beans in a solution of E.A, a naturally occurring compound derived from fermented sugarcane, which bonds to the salts of chlorogenic acid in the coffee and allows for the removal of caffeine. The coffee is removed from the solution and steamed again at low pressure to remove any traces of E.A. inside the beans, and the finished product retains its flavour integrity but contains almost no caffeine at all. (The beans will contain a maximum of 0.01–0.03% caffeine.)

The most important part of EA coffee, and why it tastes so sweet, is it avoids high pressure and high heat, which degrades coffee quickly. This allows the natural flavours to shine through, making it the sweet and bright decaf that we so love.

A Delicious Decaffeinated Coffee

How can a coffee that tastes this good be decaffeinated! We put off drinking decaffeinated coffee for years as we always thought it was insipid. Fortunately, we tried some Colombia Sugarcane decaffeinated coffee and discovered that it could actually be just as delicious and full flavoured as caffeinated.

Outstanding decaf !

I run a small van on the Isle of Harris. Our regular roaster doesn’t roast decaf, I’ve been looking for a decaf of quality for some time. Glen Lyons Sugarcane Decaf is properly delicious. Well done ! Customers love it and I drink a lot of it too !! Thanks. Sean

Decaf Glen Lyon Coffee Beans

We struggled to find a Decaf coffee bean which we liked until we stumbled across this one. Been drinking it now for many months and we love it. We have it on a monthly subscription and won't be changing.
