Ethiopia Sidama Washed Decaf
Sweet aroma like brown sugar and a caramel feel.
Flavors and sourness reminiscent of orange.
<Store owner's comment>
Due to rising technical and transportation costs associated with the decaffeinated process, prices have risen significantly from before.

<Mountain Water Decaf Method>
Descamex's Mountain Water decaffeinated coffee process is a safe method of removing caffeine without using any chemical solvents.
1) The raw materials are temporarily stored in a separate area to prevent them from coming into contact with other coffee.
2) The caffeine content is measured in advance in 5,000 kg batches and prepared for extraction.
3) Equipment, including decaffeinated tanks, is air-cleaned, steam-cleaned, and certified to not come into contact with other coffee.
4) It is sent to the first tank, where a steam jet is sprayed on it under temperature and pressure control.
5) Place in warm water to enhance caffeine extraction.
6) The caffeine is removed by transferring it to a saturated aqueous solution. At this time, the pressure is set under specific conditions.
7) The product is dried to 11-12% moisture and then packed for export.
<Production cost (per 150g)>
① Direct material cost:
The cost of materials allows you to directly gauge how much it costs to produce roasted beans.
(Example) Green beans, zipper bag with valve, front seal, back seal
The direct material cost rate for these beans (direct material cost ÷ list price × 100) is 39.3% .
②Indirect material costs:
The cost of materials, which cannot be directly calculated as the amount required to produce roasted beans.
(Example) Teeth and rubber parts of a seal cutter ③ Direct labor costs:
Labor costs are a direct measure of how much it costs to produce roasted beans.
(Example) Salaries paid to employees involved in production such as roasting and putting roasted beans into bags. 4) Indirect labor costs:
Labor costs are not directly measured in terms of how much it costs to produce roasted beans.
(Example) Salaries paid to employees not involved in manufacturing, such as clerical work ⑤ Direct expenses:
An expense that directly determines how much it cost to produce roasted beans.
(Example) Costs incurred when outsourcing some of the manufacturing-related processing, such as putting roasted beans into bags, to an external company. 6. Indirect expenses:
Expenses that cannot be directly measured in terms of how much it cost to produce roasted beans.
(Example) Electricity/gas costs used for roasting, depreciation costs for the roaster, electricity costs for storing green beans at low temperatures
The total of items ① to ⑥ above is the manufacturing cost.
*Total cost is the cost when the manufacturing cost, selling expenses incurred in selling the product, and general administrative expenses incurred in managing the entire store are included.
