Sugarcane (Ethyl Acetate) Decaffeination
Sugarcane or EA decaf uses ethyl acetate to extract caffeine from hydrated . In documented Colombian operations the ethyl acetate comes from sugarcane byproducts; verify the source for a specific lot. The extraction liquid is removed, and the beans are treated and dried. Ethyl acetate is a solvent even when plant-derived. Sugarcane does not mean sugar is added to the coffee, and the name does not establish sweetness or cup quality. Ask the roaster for the facility and method used.
Illustrative flavor tendencies, not a lot-specific claim
Lot-dependent; the word sugarcane is not evidence of added sweetness or flavor.

The method name alone does not establish ingredients, fermentation time, microorganisms, drying conditions, farm identity or cup quality. Ask for a documented producer or roaster protocol before treating those details as facts.
These references support the general method description, not a particular producer’s undocumented recipe or cup score.
