Decaffeinated coffee that tastes like the best selection? Colombia's El Placer Decaf is exactly that. This exceptionally sweet and juicy coffee comes from the El Placer farm in Colombia, run by visionary producer Sebastian Ramirez. The flavour delights with subtle notes of white chocolate that blend beautifully with peach juiciness and orange freshness. As a result, you can enjoy a full cup at any time of the day - even in the evening - without worrying about caffeine, but also without any taste compromises.
Sebastian is known for its emphasis on precision craftsmanship and innovation. The Caturra cherries are hand-picked at the ideal ripeness and go through several stages of fermentation, including carbonic maceration, which adds complexity and enhances the coffee's fruity character. This is followed by washing and slow drying on raised beds, during which every detail is carefully attended to so that the beans do not lose a drop of their expressiveness. Thanks to this approach, even decaffeinated coffee tastes exactly as one would expect from a top pick - elegant, balanced, and most importantly, fun.
And where did the caffeine go? It's all done at the Manizales plant in Colombia, where the sugar cane method of decaffeination is used. This gentle and natural process uses a sugar cane derivative - ethyl acetate - to remove the caffeine without compromising the coffee's flavour structure. The result is a cup that retains its rich aroma, sweetness and bright fruitiness while being completely caffeine-free. The perfect choice for an evening filter, for pregnant women, or simply for anyone who just wants to have coffee for the sake of it - because it tastes great, not because it "has to kick".
