Expect notes of Dark Chocolate, Toffee, Brazil Nut
Organic Decaf is our go-to decaf, decaffeinated without chemicals so you keep the full flavour of the coffee and lose only the caffeine. We roast it medium-light to stay clean and sweet. This release comes from COCAFELOL, a cooperative of around 300 smallholder farmers in Ocotepeque, in the mountains of western Honduras where the country meets Guatemala and El Salvador, grown between 1,200 and 1,900 metres and certified Organic and Fairtrade. A rich, nutty cup: dark chocolate, toffee and a long Brazil nut finish.
The Fairtrade premium paid on COCAFELOL's coffee has built something practical: a small business that turns coffee husks and natural fungi into fertiliser, given to member farms free of charge. Decaffeination happens at Descamex in Veracruz, Mexico, where the green coffee is soaked in water from the glaciers of Pico de Orizaba, Mexico's highest mountain. The water draws out the caffeine along with the flavour, then is filtered to remove the caffeine and returned to the beans, so they take back everything that makes them taste of Honduras. Enough body for a flat white, enough sweetness to drink black after dinner.
We don’t label our coffee as espresso or filter. Instead, for each coffee we create a unique roasting profile, designed to bring out the best flavours from its origin, farm and milling method. That’s why, instead, we label our coffee based on the experience it brings to the cup.

Every single one of our coffees is ethically sourced from trusted producers, then sustainably roasted at London’s first carbon negative coffee roastery.
We pay over twice the fair trade price for our coffee, then give back by contributing to a number of international initiatives – not to mention by planting trees to ensure we soak up more carbon than we produce.
Learn more about how we give back, and download our inaugural impact report, here.
All of our coffees are tested weekly by our professional tasters to ensure quality and delicious flavour. They’re our Quality Control team, and they taste, evaluate, and refine every single one of our coffees, every single day.
Our coffee is roasted and packaged in state-of-the-art nitrogen gas-flushed bags, to help keep it at peak quality for over a month. Your coffee order will come from the freshest possible roast, and will always have weeks’ worth of peak freshness left in it.
We dispatch Monday to Friday from our roastery. You will receive the most recent roast.

We first met you at the end of October 2018 in Richmond, and we fell in love with you. Now we‘re back in Germany and we still love and buy your great coffee!
– Ricarda and Frank
I’m no longer drinking caffeine due to health issues, and had resigned myself to the fact that coffee will never taste the same again – your decaf actually regained my faith in coffee!
