Why Choose Special Release Decaf Coffee
Special release decaf coffees offer a chance to explore limited batches that highlight producer experimentation and carefully crafted processing. These coffees often come from microlots or seasonal selections that bring out distinctive sweetness, texture, and nuance. Each release is roasted to express its most compelling flavors without overwhelming balance or clarity. Choosing from this collection allows you to taste decaf in a way that feels elevated and unexpected.
Decaffeination That Keeps the Flavor
Each special release decaf coffee uses a method designed to preserve its original character. The Swiss Water Process relies on water, temperature, and time to gently remove caffeine while maintaining the flavor profile. The sugarcane ethyl acetate method uses naturally derived ethyl acetate from fermented sugarcane to create a clean and sweet finish. These approaches help protect the producer’s craft so the final cup reflects the coffee’s origin and processing rather than the decaffeination itself.

- Grind fresh for each brew to maintain clarity and nuance.
- Use filtered water to highlight delicate flavor notes.
