Colombia - Popayán Sugar Cane Decaf
Specialty decaf coffee that actually tastes like coffee. The Colombia Popayán Sugar Cane Decaf proves that going caffeine-free doesn't mean giving up flavour. Unlike supermarket decaf beans — often old and woody tasting — this single origin decaf is made from a fresh crop, decaffeinated using the natural Sugar Cane process.
The Sugar Cane method uses ethyl acetate derived from sugar cane to gently remove caffeine while preserving — and even enhancing — the coffee's natural sweetness and body. The result is a decaf with rich, sweet flavour notes that rival any caffeinated specialty coffee. Sourced carefully with high body, high sweetness, and low acidity in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sugar Cane decaf process?
It uses ethyl acetate naturally derived from sugar cane to remove caffeine. This preserves sweetness and body far better than conventional methods.
Does this decaf taste different from regular coffee?
Surprisingly little. Because we use fresh crop beans, the flavour is sweet and rich — many customers can't tell the difference.

The Sugar Cane process removes approximately 97% of caffeine. A trace amount remains, as with all decaf methods.
