"I think it's one of the best fresh roasted decafs in the country! I've moved to 100% decaf since I discovered it. It's the only decaf that pours with a really rich golden crema, just like any non-decaf beans." - John (Happy Customer)

Fresh, clean and bold without the caffeine. Who ever said decaf coffee couldn't taste amazing?

Roasting decaf beans is very different to normal roasting. We've developed our roasting method to perfectly suit decaf beans, that's what makes the difference in our decaf coffee beans.

About Colombia Caña Dulce Decaf

The soil and climate of Huila are perfectly suited for coffee production, as well as a variety of other crops such as yucca, sugarcane, bananas, cocoa, and beans. Since sugarcane is plentiful in the area, local producers use it to decaffeinate green coffee beans.

Sugarcane Decaffeination Process

This sugarcane decaffeination process involves Ethyl Acetate (EA), a naturally occurring byproduct of sugarcane fermentation. The EA is sourced from the sugarcane industry around Palmira, Colombia.

Green coffee beans go through a pre-treatment process where they are steamed and moistened with hot water to break down the caffeine bond in the beans. The beans then undergo an extraction process, in which natural EA is used to remove 97% or more of the original caffeine content. This is followed by steam stripping to remove any residual EA from the coffee. Finally, vacuum drying drums are used to reduce moisture content. Not only is this a clean and eco-friendly method, but it also preserves the coffee’s rich flavor, offering a decaffeinated option without compromise.

Why You'll Love It

With its natural decaffeination process, high-quality varietals, and expert craftsmanship, Caña Dulce offers a flavourful and sustainable decaf coffee experience, proving that great taste doesn’t need caffeine.

Placebo … Nailed IT !

"Wow completely exceeded my expectations! Hands down the best decaf I’ve had and believe me I’m a fussy barista myself. So smooth so creamy no bitterness. . it’s perfect and I don’t feel like I’m missing out by having to switch to decaf like I have been. I’ve already signed myself up to your subscription. Thank you. . 🙏🏼"

Charmaine B. (5/5)

No Placebo effect!

"The Placebo decaf arrived right on time — impressive given the Black Friday chaos! We absolutely love it and drink it every single day. With summer in full swing, our go-to is a big batch of cold brew, and this coffee shines in that format. And the name Placebo? Genius. Makes us laugh every time we brew it — especially because the flavour is so good that we forget it's decaf. Easily one of our favourites!"

Christoph B. (5/5)

Creativity Coffee

"Great coffee. For a decaf, this one has a very distinctive flavour and well-defined notes. The name “Placebo” is brilliant — creativity gets a 10/10 — and the presentation is excellent. I really enjoyed it!"

Richard V. (5/5)

Coffee is great. Order arrived

"Coffee is great. Order arrived in a couple of days. Recommend."

Kerry S. (5/5)

All the flavour without the Caffeine

"I make it nice and strong, because I enjoy rich strong coffee, and I can because it's not loaded with caffeine."

Paul N. (5/5)

"Lovely coffee"

Marise (5/5)

"It’s great coffee!!!"

Vanessa (5/5)

Nice flavour

"It has a nice flavour, but I feel a lighter roast would have been better, as I found it a little burnt on the platet"

Kelly G. (5/5)

Great tasting Decafe

"I have been trying different brands of decafe coffee beans for some months and your Placebo beans are clearly the best tasting decafe available. Keep up your great bean selection and roasting."

Cleland (5/5)
