Lights Out Decaf
BROWN SUGAR | DRIED FRUITS | WALNUT
We're pretty proud of our decaf. It's very tasty and holds its own against other coffees in our lineup. It's very round, but it shines because of its deep sweetness, reminiscent of dried fruits. We developed this roast so that the coffee works both for filter and espresso.
Our decaf was decaffeinated using the ethyl acetate (EA) method. EA processing uses a natural sugarcane-derived solvent to remove caffeine while preserving flavor. Often called “sugarcane” decaf, EA is a clean, sustainable method that also results in yummy decaf.
The coffee in Lights Out Decaf right now comes from the region of San Agustín, Huila, Colombia. You can read more below.

USING SUGARCANE TO CREATE SWEET DECAF!
La Muralla is the name of the community in the municipality of San Agustin where many of our coffee producers live. Every harest, we make a community lot of these producers, we taste it and if it's awesome, the lot is then decafeinated in Colombia. This particular lot from them is super chocolatey, round and sweet.
The decaf plant is called Descafecol and we've been using their decaf for a long time. We like working this way because we get to taste the coffee before and after its decaffeinated and we've always been impressed with the resulting decaf. They use the EA decaffeination process which always results in super sweet decaf.
The ethyl acetate (EA) decaf process is a method that uses a naturally derived solvent from sugarcane to gently remove caffeine. The green coffee is steamed, soaked in the EA solution to extract caffeine, then steamed again to remove any residue. This approach preserves the coffee’s original character and is often referred to as “sugarcane” or “natural EA” decaf. It's a clean, sustainable method that delivers full flavour without the caffeine.

PAIRS WELL WITH
Excellent!
This works great for my afternoon iced coffee and it tastes like a beverage from a fine coffee shop. Great taste.
Great, smooth flavor!
Same great Phil & Seb TLC in the roasting. I can have a second cup and not miss the full flavour of the caffeinated beans. Brilliant.
Excellent, we only drink Decaf and this one is the best by far.
