Sugarcane decaffeination utilizes a naturally occurring compound, ethyl acetate (EA) to decaffeinate coffee. The EA used in this process is derived from molasses (a byproduct of sugar production). Being a naturally-occurring product, the process is labeled as “naturally decaffeinated.” 
The green coffee beans are submerged into a tank filled with water and EA to begin the Decaf process. The EA naturally bonds with the compounds of the coffee, allowing for decaffeination to occur.

The process takes approximately 24 hours and removes about 98-99% of the caffeine leaving a mild smooth coffee with natural sweetness and medium acidity. 

Simply delicious - just without the caffeine.

Decaf is an excellent way to enjoy a great coffee without worrying about the side effects of too much caffeine, having the same health benefits as regular coffee, but none of the side effects.
Pregnant women, adolescents, and individuals taking certain medications may also want to choose decaf over regular coffee.
