Decaf – Decaffeinated roasted coffee with a full-bodied flavour

Decaffeinated speciality coffee offers the full coffee experience with minimal caffeine content. Our decaf coffees are gently decaffeinated – using methods such as the CO₂ or Swiss Water® processes – to preserve as many of the coffee’s natural aromas and flavours as possible. The result is a full-flavoured coffee experience that offers greater flexibility at any time of day, with balanced, aromatic, mild, clean and natural notes.

Decaffeinated coffee is not caffeine-free, but simply has a significantly reduced caffeine content. Like all our coffees, it is roasted to perfection with love and artisanal skill in our in-house roastery – for the very best quality and full flavour.

Origin and Plantation
Caffeine is a natural substance that is present in many different plants, especially in coffee. But if you want to avoid caffeine, there is no reason to miss out on coffee as well. Decaffeinated coffee was developed for exactly those people who may not consume caffeine or who want to avoid its invigorating effect. Many chemical processes were developed to decaffeinate coffee, all of which we strictly reject. Our decaffeinated coffee follows exclusively the natural "Swiss Water Process". During this process, no chemicals are used, only pure water. This conserves the original character of the coffee with its full flavour and aroma.

Character and Taste
Anyone who believes decaffeinated coffee to be dull and tasteless will be positively surprised. This coffee impresses with its expressive aroma as well as voluptuous taste and must not fear the comparison with its non-decaffeinated role model.

Particularities
For many years, Colombian coffees were marketed by the Federación Nacional de Café FNC as the quality standard in large consumer countries such as the USA. Coffee for the masses without any real quality control was delivered to supermarkets for a bargain. Our coffee however, comes from small plantations, which are family-run and located in the southern regions of Colombia, such as Huila. When carefully producing these highly desired Arabica varieties the focus lies on quality.
