If you stopped drinking decaf years ago because it tasted like cardboard, it is time to reconsider. Modern decaffeination processes have changed the landscape, and the twenty coffees on this page prove that you no longer have to sacrifice flavor for a caffeine-free cup. Our current selection is dominated by washed lots from Colombia, specifically Huila, featuring varieties like Caturra and Castillo. You will also find experimental anaerobic natural and honey processes that push the boundaries of what decaf can be. With roasters like George Howell and Detour leading our catalog, these selections retain the clarity and sweetness of their caffeinated counterparts. Whether you want a single-origin Burundi or a reliable daily blend, these coffees offer the complexity you actually want to drink.
What to taste for:Look for the same clarity, sweetness, and regional character you expect from high-quality caffeinated specialty coffee.
