We believe drinking a Decaf coffee shouldn't mean compromising on flavour and quality. We treat the roasting of our decaf beans with as much care and attention as we do all our other coffees.

Always naturally decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process, we make sure to not compromise on quality and flavour just because you don't want the jitters.

Currently being sourced from Colombia, our Sleeper Cabin blend is carefully chosen to provide the decaf coffee drinker with a well-balanced coffee, that can also hold its own in milk-based drinks.

If you were subscribed to Leaderboard the Coffee game a couple months ago, you tasted some pretty exceptional coffees, but if you didn't, Anahi Tropical was one of those coffees so you'll be to at least taste one of them.

So you may think a coffee from Brazil would be chocolatey and nutty and just a good traditional cup of coffee. This coffee is a solid cup coffee, but traditional it is not. This coffee is an Aerobic fermented coffee, so the farmer Danillo Barbosa used a unique process method to bring out a completely unique profile of flavours. You could get a back note of chocolatey sweetness, but at the front is burst of incredible fruit flavours.
