A naturally decaffeinated Honduran single origin for full-flavour espresso

Decaf Espresso is a single origin from the La Cidra lot in Honduras' Lempira department, grown by producer Renato Sánchez and decaffeinated using the gentle ethyl acetate process. Medium roasted in Kuala Lumpur, it's for espresso lovers who want yellow plum, cloudy apple juice and chocolate with none of the caffeine.

Coffee Details

About This Coffee

This is the decaffeinated version of La Cidra, grown in Honduras' Lempira department. The ethyl acetate process strips the caffeine while keeping the caramel-praline notes and malic acidity that make Renato Sánchez's coffee so distinctive, married to the sweetness and texture the decaf process brings.

Renato began at the age of 25 with a single hectare of Catuaí seedlings, expanding his farm in stages ever since. In 2006 he entered Honduras' Cup of Excellence, his first exposure to the international specialty market. It took years to find a repeatable foothold, which came once he began working with Beneficio San Vicente in 2022.

This year's Catuaí lot carries a little more fermentation than usual, adding a touch of red fruit and berry to an otherwise classic washed profile.

How to Brew Decaf Espresso

If the shot runs too fast or tastes thin, grind finer; if it chokes or tastes harsh, grind coarser. Aim to land inside the 28–32 second window.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

The 350g bag makes around 19 double espressos at 18g per shot — enough for roughly two and a half weeks of a daily coffee, all of it caffeine-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a real decaf with no caffeine?
Yes. It's decaffeinated using the ethyl acetate process, which gently removes the caffeine while preserving the coffee's natural sweetness and flavour. It's ideal for evening shots or anyone cutting down on caffeine.

What does Decaf Espresso taste like?
Yellow plum and cloudy apple juice up top, with a rich chocolatey body. Expect caramel-praline sweetness, bright malic acidity and a touch of red fruit on the finish.

Can I brew it as filter instead of espresso?
Yes. While dialled in for espresso at a 1:2 ratio, it works well as filter too. Start around 1:16 (coffee to water) and adjust grind to taste.

How fresh is it?
We roast to order and ship within 24 hours of roasting. These beans are at their peak one to two weeks after the roast date, so you're brewing them at their best.

Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Free shipping within Malaysia on orders over RM80.
