If you’re like me, you don’t wake up craving a calming, relaxing, steady-energy cup. I go to bed thinking about my coffee in the morning, only to wake up and have two four-ounce Cortados, followed by an after lunch Espresso or another Cortado.

But here’s the thing: I’ve been hearing more and more people say they need to cut back on caffeine (WHY?!). Okay, fine, I get it. Most of us don’t need our anxiety levels spiking any more than they already do. Some days, one fully caffeinated latte has us ready to reorganize the entire house.

So when we bring in a decaf, it has to be good. Like actually good. Flavor-first, no-compromise, “I’d drink this even if it had caffeine” good. And you know that’s saying something coming from a 35-year coffee addict.

That’s why we switched to our new Colombia Huila Sugar Cane Process Decaf, a decaf that tastes like real coffee, not like giving up.

What Is the Sugar Cane Decaf Process?

This method (also called the EA process) uses ethyl acetate from fermented sugar cane, not harsh chemicals, to remove caffeine gently and naturally. It’s one of the cleanest, most sustainable decaf methods out there.

Here’s the simple rundown:

• Beans are steamed to open their pores.
• They’re washed with the sugar-cane-derived EA, which binds to caffeine.
• They’re rinsed, dried, and ready to roast — caffeine-free but full of flavor.

The best part? It all happens in Colombia, right at origin, which supports local producers and preserves freshness.

Why It Actually Tastes Good

Traditional decaf can be… rough. Flat. Bitter. Sad.

But the sugar cane process keeps the good stuff intact:

• natural sweetness
• aromatics
• acidity body
• origin
• character

You know, all the reasons we drink great coffee in the first place.

About This Coffee

This decaf comes from multiple small farms in the Huila region, known for fruity, sweet, complex coffees.

Region: Huila, Colombia
Varietals: Caturra, Castillo, Typica
Elevation: 5,700–6,800 ft
Process: Washed, sun-dried, EA sugar cane decaf
Roast: Medium
Flavor Notes: Graham cracker, golden raisin, orange citrus

It’s smooth and cozy with a pop of citrus — the kind of cup that doesn’t make you think, “Oh, this is decaf,” but instead, “Wait, this is decaf??”

And for the record: I had a half-caf with this yesterday. It was delicious. It gives our Spro a run for its money.  Okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but it’s really good.

Brew It Your Way

One of the best things about sugar cane decaf is how well it works across brew methods:

• drip
• pour over 
• espresso 
• AeroPress
• late-afternoon cravings when you’re trying to be a responsible adult

It handles milk beautifully and stays sweet even black.
