About This Coffee

Costa Rica Strictly Hard Bean is an Arabica decaffeinated coffee selected from quality coffees grown above 1200 metres in Tarrazú, the fifth canton in the Costa Rican province of San José, characterised by a pristine valley surrounded by mountains that are part of the Talamanca Sierra range of southern Costa Rica. This coffee has a crisp and clean aromatic cup, a balanced body with subtle chocolate and nutty tones suitable for all brewing methods. The coffee is decaffeinated using the Swiss Water method, developed by the Swiss Water Decaffeinated Coffee Company, where green beans are washed and soaked in hot water to release 99.9% of the caffeine.

Decadent Decaf Coffee Company

Guy Wilmot, along with Richard, Greg, and Laura, founded Decadent Decaf in Littlehampton, West Sussex, around 2015 with a pointed thesis: decaffeinated coffee can taste exceptional if you start with the right beans and refuse to cut corners on process. The company works exclusively with the Swiss Water Process, a fully chemical free method that removes 99.9 percent of caffeine. Father and son team Richard and Greg handle the roasting on an old fashioned Probat gas roaster, keeping batches small and consistent. Rather than rotating origins frequently, Decadent Decaf maintains its core lineup year round to avoid stale transitional stock. The operation claims to be both the world's first dedicated decaf coffee company and Europe's first single origin Swiss Water Decaf roaster.
