{"product_id":"decaf-sugar-cane-ea-green-coffee","title":"Decaf Sugar Cane E.A.","description":"\u003cp\u003eDecaf Sugar Cane E.A. is a fully decaffeinated green coffee, available in 20 kg bulk for cafés and roasters building a dependable decaf line. The beans are decaffeinated in Colombia using the sugar-cane (ethyl acetate) method, a naturally derived process that removes caffeine while preserving the bean's origin character. The lot is certified Kosher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCupping Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect a clean, sweet cup with mild acidity and a smooth body. Sugar-cane decaffeination is known for retaining sweetness and a rounded profile, with notes that lean toward caramel, light cocoa, and dried fruit once roasted. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProcessing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaffeine is removed using ethyl acetate sourced from sugar-cane fermentation. The green beans are steamed to open their pores, then rinsed with the sugar-cane-derived solvent, which bonds with and extracts caffeine over repeated cycles. The beans are steamed again to clear residual solvent and dried back to a stable moisture level. Because the solvent is plant-derived rather than synthetic, this method is often labelled a natural decaffeination process. It is valued for reaching decaf thresholds while keeping more of the bean's inherent sweetness and origin character than many alternative methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoast Guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA medium roast suits this lot, though the final level is at the roaster's discretion. Note that decaffeinated green beans behave differently in the roaster: they begin darker, absorb heat faster, and can read as more developed than they are. First crack is often quieter and harder to hear. Track time and bean temperature rather than colour alone, and lower the charge temperature slightly to avoid scorching. Most roasters land this coffee between a medium and medium-dark profile for espresso and filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Colombia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coffea arabica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecaffeination\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sugar Cane process (ethyl acetate)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 kg bulk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: Kosher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Terra Café et Thé Ltée","offers":[{"title":"20 kg","offer_id":43358922309683,"sku":"CTERV001DE03VTG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/2363\/3971\/files\/15KG.jpg?v=1748341931","url":"https:\/\/wholesale.cafeterra.ca\/products\/decaf-sugar-cane-ea-green-coffee","provider":"Terra Coffee \u0026 Tea Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
