Grown by multiple smallholder producers, this Castillo, Caturra, Colombia EA decaffeinated coffee is processed at source in Colombia. The coffee is fully traceable, working with smallholders to select the best lots for decaffeination. The Sugarcane EA process, also known as naturally decaffeinated, starts by fermenting molasses derived from sugarcane to create ethanol. This alcohol is then mixed with acetic acid to create the compound ethyl acetate.

In Colombia, where sugarcane is readily available, it makes great economic sense to use this plentiful resource to complement the coffee industry. EA is also found in wine, beer, fruit, vegetables and other food and beverages. Processing the coffee for decaffeination at source also reduces its carbon footprint, as the coffee doesn't need to travel to another country to be processed before being routed to the country it is roasted in – another great reason we work exclusively with this process.

The Sugarcane EA process avoids excessive heat or pressure, which can radically disrupt a green bean's cellular structure, moisture levels are maintained which all contribute to a full flavoured bean. Once roasted, our decaf is a lovely rounded coffee with notes of honey, cherry and toffee.

About Hundred House Coffee: "We founded Hundred House in 2016 after building careers across both art and speciality coffee, bringing together a shared passion for coffee and culture. From the beginning, we wanted to build slowly and intentionally, creating a company centred around exceptional coffee and a considered experience at every touchpoint; from the cafés and spaces that serve it, to the way it feels in your hands, through to the extraordinary coffees themselves. At its core, Hundred House was conceived as more than a roastery alone; a space where coffee, creativity and community could meaningfully intersect, and where supporting artists and creative practices would become part of the fabric of the business itself."
