CUPPING PROFILE
Notes: citrus, sweet chocolate flavour, honey, balanced in its sweetness. Residual to lemon, clean cup, silky.
PROCESS
Spring water – natural origin Ethyl Acetate (EA) combined method:
Every coffee bean (as well as many fruits and vegetables) naturally contains EA, so we don’t add any foreign materials. Natural EA obtained from the sugarcane industry in Colombia.
We use this solvent of natural origin and fresh spring water to extract caffeine from the grain smoothly, without exposing it to excessive heat and pressure. This preserves the natural structure of the coffee bean cells. This process allows an excellent roasting that yields a perfect aroma and flavour. The process is FDA approved, and the Ethyl Acetate residuals are below 5 ppm, while international norms allow for up to 20 ppm. A ripe banana has about 20 times more EA than our decaffeinated coffee!
Also, any residual EA in the coffee beans evaporate during roasting because it is volatile (E.A. evaporates at 70°C, coffee is roasted around 200°C).

I love arrow decaf! Being a huge coffee lover I sometimes want that extra cup but don’t need the extra caffeine:) The flavor is delicious and it got me through my pregnancy without feeling guilty or having to cut out my coffee altogether!

Great spot on ! Roastwells decaf has been our go to – to date. This is just excellent – for when I need a coffee taste but have already had 2 during the morning !

Yummy, will definitely buy some more, not bitter which is a huge plus in my opinion. Would have been a 5 if it had been a slightly darker roast (tiny bit stronger) if that is, in fact, at all possible (not at all clued up on how the decaf process works).

Good decaf, we’ve had better though. It tastes a bit acidic and we like a smooth coffee. Just our taste. The beans smell lovely and we are not unhappy with our purchase.

I absolutely love coffee but I am super sensitive to caffeine. There is very limited variety out there when it comes to decaf, so I am always searching for that perfect cup of freshly roasted coffee. This coffee does not disappoint. It is exactly what I am looking for, strong, excellent flavour, great mouth feel, good crema, and I don’t feel like I am missing out. (Has a distinctive chocolate flavour and aroma)

Fabulous, I keep coming back!!

Amazing service and coffee! You can’t go wrong with quality and convenience! The decaf is delicious – not too bitter, with a lovely, full flavour that hits all the right spots.

Smooth berry flavours works well as a pour over.
