Experience the exceptional Wuchii Sugarcane Decaf, a single-origin coffee hailing from the lush landscapes of Colombia. Cultivated by dedicated smallholder farmers committed to sustainable practices, this coffee embodies a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. The unique sugarcane decaffeination process preserves the bean's inherent flavours, offering a decaf experience that rivals its caffeinated counterparts.
The Decaffeination Process: A Bitter Choice or a Better Choice
Most decaf coffee is processed using methyl chloride, a chemical solvent that is classified as possibly carcinogenic. This has been a major reason why we have avoided offering decaf—until now. We wanted a decaf coffee that not only meets our high standards for safety but also delivers a flavourful and satisfying experience.
Enter the sugarcane decaffeination process. This method uses ethyl acetate, a natural compound derived from fermented sugarcane, to gently remove caffeine while maintaining the coffee's true character. Unlike conventional methods, this approach enhances sweetness and complexity rather than stripping flavour away.
The Quality Difference: Speciality Decaf
Nearly all decaf coffee suffers from one common issue: it is made from poor-quality beans. Because most people undervalue decaf, the industry often reserves inferior lots for the process. However, Wuchii Sugarcane Decaf defies this trend. This is a specialty-grade coffee, crafted with the same care and attention as any high-octane offering. The result? A decaf coffee that stands proudly alongside our the rest of our coffees.
