Our decaf is so good you can't even tell it's decaf. Lots of toffee and chocolate sweetness, and it tastes delicious with or without milk.

Our starting recipes for this coffee. Every grinder and machine is a little different, so taste and adjust.
What to taste for: toffee, chocolate.
Decaf coffee often runs faster than regular coffee, so you may need to grind a little finer than usual.
Change one thing at a time so you know what made the difference. Grind size guide. Words explained in our coffee glossary.
The Tumbaga Sugarcane decaf, is from various small holder farmers across the Cauca, Tolima, Antioquia and Eje Cafetero regions, with farm sizes varying from 1 hectare to 4.5 hectares, and altitudes ranging from 1,400 to 2,100 meters above sea level.
Once the coffee is harvested it is fully washed and fermented. Then it's decaffeinated using a special process using fermented sugar cane.
