What Abyss Coffee Roasters says about this coffee
Ethyl acetate (E.A.) – This naturally occurring ester (found in bananas and also as a by-product of fermented sugars) can be isolated and used as a solvent to bind to and remove caffeine from green coffee.
First, the coffee is sorted and steamed for 30 minutes at low pressure to open the pores of the coffee beans and prepare them for decaffeination.
The coffee is placed in a solution of water and ethyl acetate, where the E.A. will begin to bind with the chlorogenic acid salts inside the beans.
The tank is drained and refilled over an eight-hour period until no caffeine is detected.
The beans are steamed again to remove traces of ethyl acetate, although ethyl acetate is only harmful to humans in very high quantities (400 parts per million or more).
The coffee is then dried and polished for export.

What the roaster says about where it came from
This roaster publishes nothing at all about where this coffee came from.
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
