Coffee Infos: 

Kenya Kii:

Located in the southern foothills of Mt. Kenya, the fertile areas around Kii Factory benefit from rich volcanic soil & can produce some of the top-rated Kenyan coffee. The factory is managed by the Rungeto Farmers' Cooperative Society, one of the smaller umbrella FCSs with a focus on quality processing & details to gain a stellar reputation for their product. At Kii, only ripe cherries are used; extra hand sorting & floating keeps out less dense & damaged beans. After depulping, fermenting & washing, they’re soaked in water for extended periods to create the typical Kenyan profiles. Drying happens on raised beds over 2 weeks & the milled beans are sorted by screen size & graded by shape & size: AA (17/18 screen); AB (15/16 screen); PB (peaberry).

Mexico Esmeralda Decaf EA:

Decaf Mexico Esmeralda EA Natural Process is decaffeinated using Ethyl Acetate (EA). In this method the green beans are steamed or soaked to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The expanded beans are then soaked in EA, a naturally occurring organic compound found in many fruits and vegetables which can be synthesized for coffee decaffeination. In the presence of EA, caffeine bonds with the compound and is drawn out of the bean. The decaffeinated coffee is then removed from the EA solvent, rinsed thoroughly, re-dried and re-bagged for transport.
