Colombia - Popayán (Sugar Cane Decaf)
Tasting Notes:
Notes of silky toffee sweetness, moving into an oily chocolate mousse mouthfeel. The taste has a well-balanced Raspberry acidity that helps this stand out thru Milk based beverages.
Roasters thoughts:
“A surprisingly amazing decaf. We knew this was a great tasting decaf but once we put it into our production roasting environment it's exceeded all our expectations. Whether you drink your decaf black or with milk it's a serious standout.”
The Coffee:
Popayán is located in the department of Cauca at 1,700 m.a.s.l. This regions topography is perfect to grow exceptional coffee! The so-called Meseta de Popayan is sheltered by the Andes mountain range which helps generate homogeneous climatic and altitudinal characteristics. The result is a balanced cup profile with floral and caramel notes. We collaborate with approximately 65 growers who contribute to this program and with whom we build long-term relationships. This program encourages farmers to focus on quality and based on quality assessment we provide up to 20% premiums above the market price.
This decaffeination process is unique. The caffeine is extracted using sugar cane and water which enhances sweetness while maintaining coffee attributes. The green beans are put into a steam chamber where the silver skin is removed from the bean. After this, the beans are submerged in spring water and as soon as the coffee is saturated with water it is sent to the extractors where the beans have direct contact with sugar cane E.A for 8 hours which dissolves the caffeine content. Then the decaffeinated coffee is dried in a chamber to reach the same moisture content that it had prior to the process.

I used to own a cafe, so I’m very fussy about coffee quality. This is a lovely coffee with great crema and great taste. I also bought a small bag of the Dark Knight beans, and blending the two gives me a DELICIOUS strong but balanced flavour that I love. A bit more expensive than I normally pay for another good quality decaf, but it is lovely coffee… and consistently available, fresh and quickly delivered. And having a choice of different styles for a decaf drinker is amazing.
A slightly more mellow but smooth flavour and still as delicious 😋
Well rounded, medium roast, flavorsome decaf coffee. Great as an after meal dessert coffee! I like to have it with milk and it is a great accompaniment to cake or biscuits. I look forward to trying different roasts.
Really enjoy the coffee without the sleepless night! I only have one cup a day as I’m sticking to a strict food management plan and it’s working well. With granular decaf coffee the taste was inclined to the chemicals used to remove the caffeine but Decaf tastes like real coffee, without the that ‘wired up’ feeling. Really great coffee! Many thanks
I tried heaps of decafs from different companies before I found decaf co, and I have never looked back. Tastes really good, and has a better flavour than even many caffeinated coffees. I have this with milk, and it tastes great - also tastes just fine without. Delivery is always super quick and the customer service is brilliant.
