The source introduces a Colombian coffee through an ethyl-acetate, or EA, decaffeination account described as German processing. EA identifies part of a caffeine-removal process; it does not specify a cultivar or a flavour. Clarify the actual processing facility and product information if those details matter to the purchase. EA stands for ethyl acetate in the processing description, while Colombia identifies the coffee's origin; processing location and growing origin are different label details.
Treat hazelnut or sweet notes as sensory references rather than evidence that an ingredient was added. A removal percentage also needs a defined measurement and reliable product-level support. Decaf should not automatically be read as completely caffeine-free or appropriate for every individual situation.
Brew the coffee as an individual lot, recording dose, water and the result as it cools. Compare sweetness, body and finish without assuming that all decaffeinated coffees are alike. The aim is a clear product description, not medical advice or a first-hand tasting claim.
