This refers to the amount of time this coffee will be available for purchase at Counter Culture. Availability is determined by supply and also when the coffee tastes the freshest.
There are different ways to remove caffeine from green—or unroasted—coffee beans and there are a number of different facilities around the world that decaffeinate green coffee before it is roasted. A big difference is the decaffeinating agent—Counter Culture offers coffees that are decaffeinated using either water or sugarcane. Ethyl Acetate is derived from sugarcane and is what is used at DESCAFECOL, the first and only decaffeination plant in Colombia. We selected lots from the Kuichi group in Nariño, Colombia for this process, thereby shortening the distance overall that the coffee travels, which results in a fresher, more sustainable product.
Decaf Kuichi is one of the sweetest and most-complexcups of decaffeinated coffee we've ever tasted, perhaps owing, in part, to the sugar used during the process. Decaf coffee drinkers are the true coffee lovers––here for the flavor, not for the kick––and we hope you enjoy it.
