This is another amazing coffee from our partnership with LaREB and Ana Mustafa. Along with the Mustafa estate, 575, El Crucero and more to come.

"Best decaf coffee ever" 

Ana runs the LaREB cooperative with the support of Herbert and other great producers with the aim to support smaller or less experienced members with production advice and professional quality control. They also export coffee directly from the farmers which secures the supply chain and transfers more value back to producers. Anas’ coffees with LaREB contribute to 40% of the money and 35% of the coffees produced by LaREB!

Sugar cane decaffeination is often termed as a natural process decaf. Ethyl Acetate is an organically existing compound (C4H8O2) and by-product found most commonly in the fermentation of fruits and is present in
both ripe bananas and beer for example. The plant we work with in Colombia uses water from the Navado el Ruis (a volcano between Caldas and Tolima) and natural ethyl acetate from fermented sugarcane sourced in the southern region of Palmira, Colombia. This process begins with steaming of the coffee, increasing its porosity, beginning the hydrolysis of
caffeine, which is usually bonded to salts and chlorogenic acid in the bean. The beans are then submerged in an ethyl acetate solvent until 97% of the caffeine is removed.

A final steam is then used to lift residual traces of the compound. The ultimate residue which remains is ≥ 30 ppm, which is a level dramatically less than that of a banana!

 We are also super proud that this is now a Great Taste Award Decaf!

The Great Taste awards have a rigorous testing process and we couldn't be happier being awarded a Great Taste award for our amazing Decaf Coffee.

  1. Grind your coffee to a medium-coarse grind
  2. Weigh out your coffee, we always recommend 60g coffee to 1 litre of water.  For example: 400ml brew = 24g coffee
  3. Using fresh water, boil your kettle, fold the filter paper into your Chemex and flush with hot water to pre heat the Chemex and remove any papery taste. Discard the water
  4. Pour the ground coffee into the Chemex paper and gently shake to even out the coffee bed
  5. Start a timer then begin to bloom your coffee by pouring enough water to just cover and wet all the coffee and leave to steep for 30 seconds
  6. At 30 seconds begin to gradually add the rest of the water until all your water is added by 1 minute 30 seconds
  7. Allow the coffee to drain through the filter. If your grind is correct this should take approximately 5 minutes in total
  8. Pour and enjoy

Being patient with your French Press will make sure you have an even better coffee experience and making sure to use scales and freshly ground coffee will help elevate that cup of morning java even further!

  1. Grind your coffee a little coarser than table salt. You will need approx 15-17g of coffee.
  2. Boil your kettle with fresh water.
  3. Add your boiled water to the brewing chamber, just up to the fill line.
  4. Fill the basket with coffee, slightly mounded, and level the surface off with your finger. Brush away loose grounds on the top edge of the filter basket.
  5. Carefully screw the top of the brewer to the bottom not over-tightening it.
  6. Place the Moka pot on your stove over a medium heat ensuring the handle is not in any direct heat.
  7. Keep the lid open and wait for the coffee to extract into the top chamber.
  8. Once the coffee starts to bubble out of the inner spout and no more liquid emerges carefully take the Moka pot off the heat and run the bottom chamber under a cold tap to stop any further extraction.
  9. Pour and enjoy.
