Lights Out Decaf

We're pretty proud of our decaf. It's very tasty and holds its own against other coffees in our lineup. It's very round, but it shines because of its deep sweetness, reminiscent of dried fruits. We developed this roast so that the coffee works both for filter and espresso. 

Our decaf was decaffeinated using the ethyl acetate (EA) method. EA processing uses a natural sugarcane-derived solvent to remove caffeine while preserving flavor. Often called “sugarcane” decaf, EA is a clean, sustainable method that also results in yummy decaf.
