A fruity and full bodied natural processed decaf coffee from Colombia, produced by Elias and Shady Bayter at their El Vergel farm in Fresno, Tolima. The coffee is made from Caturra variety beans grown at 1450 meters altitude and harvested between March-June 2024. It undergoes natural processing before being decaffeinated using the Sugarcane EA method at Descafecol, resulting in 99.9% caffeine-free coffee. Tasting notes include cherry, coconut, and chocolate with hints of tropical fruits.
Will, a former civil engineer who trained at Monmouth Coffee Company and studied with CoffeeMind, founded Calm Coffee Roastery in London in 2024. The catalyst was personal: the birth of his daughter in 2023 prompted a rethinking of caffeine habits. The roastery focuses specifically on low caffeine and decaffeinated specialty coffee, working with rare varieties like Laurina, which contains just 0.4 to 0.6 percent caffeine naturally. All decaf offerings are guaranteed 99.9 percent caffeine free. The operation runs from Peckham Levels, with free bike deliveries across south east London and SCA Introduction to Coffee courses for those who want to go deeper. The tagline captures it well: a ritual without the rush.
