Description
Specifications
This coffee is a blend of multiple regions in Colombia with a focus on cup consistency. It is decaffeinated
by the local company Descafecol SA, in the town of Manizales, Caldas, using the Ethyl Acetate (EA) process.
Ethyl acetate is produced by esterification between ethyl alcohol and acetic acid. The ethyl acetate used by
Descafecol is produced by sugarcane grown locally. Sugarcane grows at lower elevations than coffee and is
often planted at the base of the same mountains where coffee flourishes. Ethyl acetate and spring water are
the only substances coffee comes into contact with during the decaffeination process. This process is FDA
approved and the ethyl acetate produced by Sucroal is verified food grade, kosher, and halal.
Ethyl acetate is a natural solvent, meaning it can dissolve other substances. The EA process gently extracts
the caffeine from coffee beans, avoiding the use of excessive heat that could damage the structure of the
beans.
The EA process begins with a pretreatment step of steaming beans at a low pressure to remove silver skins.
Coffee is then moistened with hot water to swell and soften the beans to catalyse the hydrolysis (the
chemical breakdown of a substance due to reaction with water) of the caffeine, which is bonded to
chlorogenic acid inside the coffee.
Coffee next passes to an extractor, where caffeine is removed by repeatedly washing with the natural solvent
ethyl acetate. This process happens several times to complete the extraction stage, removing more than 97%
of caffeine, per US standards.
Once caffeine extraction is complete, a flow of low-pressure steam is passed over coffee to strip residual
ethyl acetate, leaving less than 5 ppm, which evaporates at 70°C once coffee beans are roasted.
The coffee, now decaffeinated and free from ethyl acetate, moves from the extractors to the vacuum drying
drums to remove the water applied during the moistening step and adjust the final humidity of the beans to
between 10-12%. The coffee is cooled to ambient temperature using fans and polished as the final step of
post-treatment. It is then ready to be packed and shipped as decaf, providing the full and delicious flavour
of Colombian terroir to those sensitive to stimulants!

About Epoch Chemistry Coffee
Epoch Chemistry started as a passionate endeavour in June 2020 to bring the best coffee to Atlantic Canada.
What initially started as a dream of a cafe grew into an individual business model in coffee, focused on
education and experience. Today, Epoch has a full roastery, two cafe locations, and a dedicated tasting room
supported by a team of passionate coffee and business professionals. We believe specialty coffee should be
approachable and fun, with a focus on circularity in our supply chains and to lead by example when it comes
to ethical practices and sourcing.
We roast in a Nordic style; meaning we like to keep the profiles light-medium, as opposed to what we can
typically find here in the East Coast. The reason we roast lighter profiles is to highlight the flavours of
the high quality single origin green coffee we order from importers. In our coffees, you'll find notes
varying from chocolate, dried fruits, and nuts to mulled wine, tropical fruits, and candy.
