ABOUT

Decaffeinated coffee should never feel like an afterthought

We get incredible feedback on our decaf and our latest selection is another one we're very proud of - we don't think you'd know it was decaffeinated if it wasn't on the label!

This coffee comes from Piendamo, Cajibio and Morales. Often referred to as the 'Tabletop of Cauca', the area surrounding these towns has excellent elevation for coffee - around 1800 - 2050 metres above sea level, with very fertile land.

Sourced through Siruma Coffee and decaffeinated using the sugar cane process, keeping plenty of character in the cup. Smooth with notes of brown sugar, almond, and caramel.

Sugar Cane Decaf

This coffee was sourced in Cauca, southern Colombia before being transported a short distance to Manizales, in nearby Caldas, where it was decaffeinated using the Sugar Cane Decaffeination Process. 

The process involves using alcohol produced locally and derived from sugar cane - our favourite way of decaffeination. This leaves the coffee 99.9% caffeine free but keeps all the flavour locked in. When extracting the caffeine, no water is used in the process other than for steaming and moistening the green coffee at the prepping stage.

With the decaffeination process done at origin in Colombia (instead of in Europe or Canada) we can avoid multiple ocean freight routes - which means the coffee has a reduced impact on the environment.
