A Familiar Caffeine Problem…

We've all been there, haven't we? You're halfway through your second cup of coffee, and suddenly your heart's racing, your mind's whirring, and as for sleep tonight? Not a chance. Maybe caffeine doesn't play nice with your anxiety, perhaps you're keeping an eye on your blood pressure, or maybe you've simply chosen the lifestyle of a banging brew without the buzz. Whatever your reason, you're not alone—and you shouldn't have to compromise on taste.

That was me—not exactly winning any awards for caffeine tolerance. So, I decided to part ways with caffeine and switch to decaf.

But here's the catch: most decaf tastes like something that's been left out in the rain. It felt like being the designated driver at a party—watching everyone else enjoy themselves while you're stuck with something dull. Yet, amidst the mediocre, I stumbled upon a few decafs that were absolute crackers. That's when a bold idea brewed: why should decaf drinkers settle for second best?


Does Decaf Need to Be Boring? (Spoiler: It Doesn't!)

If you love the rich taste of coffee but could do without the caffeine jitters, why compromise? For too long, decaf has been treated like the forgotten cousin at the coffee family gathering—inferior, overlooked, and downright boring. Well, we're here to change that!

We've sipped our way through countless decafs (it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it) and discovered absolute gems. Roasters who pour their heart and soul into crafting decaf that's as good as—or dare we say, even better than—its caffeinated counterparts. It's time to bring these hidden treasures into the spotlight and serve up decaf that's anything but dull.

We Have a Bone to Pick with Most Decafs…

Let's talk about decaffeination methods. Many decafs undergo processes that, while effective at removing caffeine, also strip away the flavour, leaving you with a lacklustre brew. Some methods, like Swiss Water, even involve shipping the beans halfway across the world to Canada before they reach your cup in the UK. Not exactly a sustainable approach, is it?

At Craft Decaf, we do things differently. We favour decaffeinating at origin using natural methods like the Sugarcane process. This ingenious method uses naturally fermented sugarcane to gently remove caffeine, leaving no chemicals behind and preserving the coffee's full-bodied flavour.

By decaffeinating at origin, we're cutting down on unnecessary food miles, investing more in the quality of the beans, and promoting growth in coffee-growing communities. It's sustainable, it's ethical, and it results in a better cup of coffee for you. Everyone's a winner!
