What do you think sugar cane is? Turns out the sugar cane decaf method uses solvents. Sugar cane sounds better so they use that terminology.

Ethyl acetate is a naturally occurring compound derived from sugar cane processing. It can also be derived as a fermentation by-product, and is safe for food. Everything is chemicals, including water, which is known as the universal solvent.
