San Antonio DecafDecaf

This coffee has a smooth mouthfeel with notes of hazelnut, cocoa and apple.

We’re super proud and excited to share our first ever decaffeinated coffee with you! We’ve spent a long time looking for a decaffeination process that preserves the coffee’s quality and taste of place, and we’re thrilled to finally bring you this very sweet and delicious decaf.

We’ve been offering San Antonio, both as a single-origin espresso and as part of our Seasonal Blend, since 2020. This lot was grown by 14 small-scale producers in the hills surrounding the town of San Antonio, where the rich, volcanic soil, cool temperatures and high rainfall support the production of beautifully sweet and complex coffees.

We sourced this coffee through our Colombian supply partners, Pergamino, a progressive, family-run business that connects coffee buyers with small producers and high-quality coffees. The Pergamino team cupped through many coffees to select the exceptional lots that make up this sweet, clean and creamy decaf offering.

There are a number of ways that caffeine can be removed from coffee. We’ve chosen the EA sugarcane process, which uses water and a natural compound found in sugarcane to gently remove the caffeine from the bean. And while over 97% of the caffeine is removed, the inherent flavour and quality of the coffee remain intact.

Happily, this processing method is available in Colombia, which means we’ve been able to select one of our favourite Colombian coffees, San Antonio, to be decaffeinated locally and shipped to us fresh. The result is a sweet, clean and well-structured coffee with a lovely buttery mouthfeel. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to skip the caffeine and still enjoy a beautiful cup of coffee!
