Our first sugarcane processed decaf offering. This coffee is so tasty you won't know it's a decaf. A really nice cup perfect for after dinner and paired with desserts. Distinct milk chocolate tones with hints of stone fruit like cherries and a lightly sweet finish. Also makes a really nice decaf espresso.

What is the Sugarcane Decaffeinating Process? TheSugarcane Decaf Process, also known as theEthyl Acetate (EA)or "Natural Decaffeination" process, uses a solution of water and EA which is naturally derived compound to remove caffeine from the green beans while preserving their original flavor profile.
The green coffee beans are gently steamed at low pressure for about 30 minutes to open their pores and swell the beans, making them more permeable. They are then submerged in a solution of water andEA. This compound, derived from fermenting sugarcane molasses, acts as a solvent that specifically bonds to the caffeine salts within the beans. The solution circulates through the beans, drawing out the caffeine. This step is repeated for approximately 8 to 24 hours97% of the caffeineis removed.
Once decaffeinated, the beans are steamed again at a high temperature. Since EA has a lower boiling point than water, this step ensures any residual solvent evaporates completely. The beans are then dried back to their original moisture content.
Unlike some methods that can leave coffee tasting "flat," the Sugarcane process is praised for maintaining the bean's natural sweetness, acidity, and origin characteristics.The EA used is a plant-based byproduct of the sugar industry, making it an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to synthetic chemical solvents like methylene chloride.
Since this decaf process is performed in Colombia, this process reduces the carbon footprint by decaffeinating the beans near their source rather than shipping them to a different country for treatment.

I really enjoyed this one. This is going to sound like a weird description, but what I wanna say is this Coffee was “lip smacking good.”Another winner. Keep up the good work.
Hands down one of the best Costa Rican Coffee I’ve ever had nice light roast I highly recommend it great price wonderful coffee company I’ve had some of their other stuff as well and it’s excellent
The flavor notes on this coffee are fairly muted compared to other Ethiopian beans I have tried(from Magnolia & other roasters). Personally I prefer the more traditional berry-forward flavors from Ethiopian beans. Brewed with both Aeropress & Hario Switch.
Not only is this one of the best coffees I’ve had, the small business behind it is just as impressive. I stumbled on Magnolia Coffee while going down a Reddit rabbit hole, and their Jade espresso blend caught my attention. Turns out they’re highly rated and just two miles from me. Got a chance to talk to the owner and their master roaster. Great people and an even better product.

Delicious Coffee!
I love their Papua New Guinea single origins. It’s a delicious daily drinker. Makes a great French press, Iced Coffee and I’ve pulled excellent espresso shots with it too. Highly recommend.
